Walking through a blizzard

I went out this afternoon to make a couple more test videos with the new plastic box attached to the camera. It was freezing, and very windy. I've just checked them both. The first one was a complete failure as the gusts were whipping across the fields. The second one was just about acceptable. I was in the centre of a village so there was a little bit of shelter there, and the wind had dropped somewhat. I think there will be a limit as to how much wind the plastic box can block out. It won't work every time, and it's dependent on the direction of the wind as well. I need more practice to walk while videoing and not wobbling. 

Even though it was sunny it was cold. I'm glad I put a big jacket on, I needed the furry hood to keep my head warm. 

I came across a bus shelter which had been decorated for Easter. A nice touch I thought. 

A picture of the churchyard looking all spring like. Everything greening up nicely. 

I keep seeing these two helicopters. They come over most days, always later afternoon and always flying together in the same direction. Very strange. 

On my way back now, oh dear, it's started snowing. 

By the time I had walked along the side of the field, it was starting to turn white. That is the same tree as in the previous photo. It came down pretty heavy, and fast. 

Like walking through a blizzard. I did think I might extend the walk, but I was flippin freezing so I headed home. 

Not much further to go. By the time I landed back in the village the snow they had there had all gone. Very strange weather we are having. 

A tasty bowl of hot stew for my dinner, it warmed me up a treat. 

Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona
