Photos of frozen Britain, lydney Harbour and Gloucester Cathedral

Have been fighting a cold so have not done any major trips. We have been walking locally and have been surprised how cold it actually is. I recall last year walking down the canal at 7.30am to work and being cold, so cold that Scott had icicles on his beard. What I do not recall was that the cold continued throughout the day and here the frost just not melting and it is so icey. I am pleased though we are not in Scotland and also rather happy that I am not working so I can stay under the covers, all nice and warm for a bit longer.

The news discusses Frozen Britain and whilst it focuses on the travel and transport, however, these pictures demonstrate to me how the countryside has also just been frozen. The scenery is just lovely, the white trees look so pretty and the countryside as a pastel look which is a stark contrast from the vibrant colours of the summer


Just a couple of places which we have been to which I forgot to add previously.

Lydney Harbour
This is a harbour in Lydney and has been under some redevelopment. My word it was cold and the fog made it very eerie. The harbour is on the Seven Estuary and was used to aid the transport of Iron and Coal.





Gloucestershire Cathedral
We took a drive into Gloucester and wondered around the shops. It was just like any other town really, however, teh Catherdral was nice. For some reason I did not take a photo of the outside, however, the picutre on the left is part of the building and was in the Harry Potter Films.
