Afternoon all I bet that Lydia is cold, with hardly any clothes on. Her little sister isn't wearing any more either, Maria is just visible to the right of the rotary pole.

The view for me Monday. Tuesday not much different, I hope to get out on Wednesday. Edited by member, 12th Dec 2017 9:19 am

Just love all these very beautiful photos of the snow. It is going to be 37degs here in Melbourne on Wednesday. I would happily swap with you. Have they forecast a white Christmas? Careful how you go now. Gilly

Beautiful clear blue sky here, just sat (1pm) and had fish and chips on a bench on the cliff top, cold but enjoyable.

Ditto for Devon! Walked along Seaton seafront enjoying the sunshine, it's hard to believe the pictures we're seeing of most of the country.

I spent most of last Sunday afternoon with lots of other people around Quinton Pool having snowball fights, building snowmen and pulling sledges. The age range was from babies all the way up to me and the atmosphere was great, everyone was friendly and having fun. It was the first time for a long time we’ve had fresh snow on a Sunday so all the kids could play in it. It’s all gone now of course, because of the rain, but I’ve made some new friends.There were also lots of "odds versus evens" snowball fights in the streets. Great fun!!!

And all for FREE Old Lincolnian. Never too old for some fun.
