Mike,that is an absolutely brilliant shot ..just brilliant.

Makes me shiver looking at that view. Plenty footprints but nobody about…. Only the brave venture out to deliver these scenes to us ‘stay at homes’ good job Mike!
There’s another warning for the weekend it’s Eowin’s turn. Not sure if I’ve spelt that correctly but he’s probably Welsh.

WELCH, Veronica.
Beautiful Winter's day.

I should probably know that Peter being a quarter Welsh/ Welch. Who’d have thought! I’ll try to remember that..

Welsh, Peter.....Veronica is correct. I don't know whether Eowin is a Welsh or Gaelic name , but a person from Wales is Welsh.

Yes Storm Éowyn is on the way and could well give us a right battering, certainly not weather to be out in.

Those footprints remind of the Apollo moon landings . However , unlike these transient marks in the snow , those of Armstrong , Aldrin , etc are still there after 50 odd years .
Mike's excellent picture looks about as cold as the lunar surface too .
Happily for we earthlings , ' April come she will ' .

I love that song, "April Come She Will", Poet. Veronica, you were correct with "Welsh"....I am part Welsh too, "Welch" is a surname, eg Mr. and Mrs. Welch, but a person from Wales is Welsh.

Thank you Irene! The older I get the more doubtful I become.
