Oh no! More snow for Outdoor Wednesday.

I suppose since the UK is under a thick blanket of snow and has practically ground to a halt with roads, airports & schools closed all over the country, train & bus services totally disrupted and people being advised to stay at home and only call on emergency services for REAL emergencies that here, in Northern France, it was to be expected that we were likely to get a sprinkling too.
But this morning, we woke up to this..................................

The blue tinted photos were taken around 8.00 am in the back garden.

The monochrome (ish) pix were taken from my bedroom window about an hour later.

Susan @ A Southern Dreamer is once again graciously hosting her Outdoor Wednesday gathering and guess what it's snowing over there too. In Georgia? Go see for yourself I didn't believe it either!

The sun is now out and it looks like we could have blue skies and sunshine later, so, I think I'll be out playing in the snow today and taking more photogaphs.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow........................

Can you spot the difference?

Our front doors on Monday evening.





Our front doors on Friday evening.

We may well have a white Christmas after all.

I can't remember if the snow held off or not but 50 years ago today it was a very cold Saturday in Lancashire, England when June married Roy at St Mary's Parish Church in Oldham.

The Bride and Groom, Mr & Mrs Roy Bland.

The parish church was built in 1830 (but on all accounts this was a replacement for a former church which stood on the same site) and its interior was painstakingly restored to its original unusual design in 1974.

The Wedding Party.

In 1827, Sir Charles Barry’s plans were rejected for the rebuilding of Oldham Parish Church. Barry eventually built the houses of Parliament. I wonder what these plans looked like, and what Oldham missed?!

Congratulations Aunty June & Uncle Roy on your Golden Wedding Anniversary from Margaret your 9 year old Bridesmaid.
