After having been kept in the house for the past two weeks because of snow, we have been promised even worse for the next two months, as told by the Daily Mail, ......but don't hold your breath.

Another Woodpecker Greater Spotted Male
This, again, is taken from the same position as the former one. I have a large amount of these lovely birds all the year round. I feed them,not all the year round but when the weather is bad. I believe again that they should be made to look for food when the weather is good. Keeps them in practice....
Woodpecker
This picture I took through double glazing from my kitchen window. The small Finch seems to be saying "Hurry up, I'm hungry" This again is another tryer as I am just getting into the hang of this blogging business.......
Snow nearly gone at last
Well Folks, the snow has nearly gone. I hope that was winter and nothing more to come. I hope you won't get some of the snow that's been in New York. Some excellent photographs on the BBC website.

Like all Brits, possessed with the weather
Well, I have been celebrating the holiday with my neighbour. Very quiet but nice. Good food and wine. I hope you all had as good a time as me. Unfortunately, the weather has been atrocious for the past month. I expect most of you who bother to read my ramblings, are aware of this awful weather we have had in the UK.
As I have mentioned before, I live in Mid Wales where the weather has been the worse that I have lived through for many years. No way out from the village. Two ways out down very steep slippery single track roads, covered in heavy snow and icy ( -22f on some days, I prefer f to the C we have been lumbered with).
So I have been housebound for the past few weeks and getting to know this new Broadband I have ( Satellite) kind. Fast, and a lot better than 26 kbps I was with dial-up.
Have managed to take a few photo's from the house. mostly taken through double glazing. Sorry for not having cleaned them for some time, but the thought was there.
Will close and let you form your own opinions with what I have said.........odd-job

An Odd Ramble
I am going back to where I stopped writing my Blog, 2007? The story could be very long but I will condense it...I said I was getting Broadband, promised faithfully I could get it where I lived. The company said yes, payments taken, all the gear arrived in a few days, including start-up date. I fitted it all up but nothing happened. SEVEN weeks went by with all sorts of people and advice coming in daily until eventually that 'big tele' company said that I was too far away from the exchange and on the end of about 7 miles of old cable that they couldn't connect me.
Seven weeks without being on line and one person had the cheek to tell me, if I left them, and cancelled my contract, I would have to pay for the following 12 months. Having explained that it was they who had broken the contract and would see them in court, I had a very nice letter from a very senior Lady that she was sorry having to 'admit a complaint against themselves' and I would be rectified for all the agro etc etc. ( I know the law regarding contracts)
Well, that's what it's all about and now, having been pushed into getting Satellite Broadband, I can start afresh. What a change having good speed instead of dial-up at 26kbps Thanks son for making me get it.

Another Learning curve post
It's getting late and my instructor, my lovely niece, has to get herself back home with the roads covered with ice. Although the snow has been melting throughout the day, it freezes solid over night.
