The snow has blown away

but it has been terribly windy and bitingly cold. The sun has been out, which is always a treat.

I was hoping for a people blip today but I have not been quick enough with my camera and missed some opportunities.. such as a sweet looking old man giving a rather rude hand signal to the car in front of me. I'm not sure what provoked him but it did amuse me.

Anyway, I took this as I trotted back from the post box, earlier. I decided that it looked more dramatic in b&w. I'm just hoping that those clouds are not going to drop anything on us....
