Another decent, bright, January day for walking the Pembrokeshire coast path between Tenby and Manorbier.

Interesting carving above shop in Halesworth Suffolk

And some interesting paint of street furniture , a bit different to the normal knitted stuff

One kettle of tepid water to melt ice to allow driver’s door to open
One kettle of water so passenger door would open
Two more to unfreeze the windscreen wipers.
All to allow me to drive to the Post Office to collect the parcel that they couldn’t deliver because the drive was frozen

Despite the recent arctic weather conditions our Strelitzias are coming into flower early this year, but even so the one at the northern end of our ‘Conservatory in the Sky’ is about 3 weeks behind its partner at the opposite end.

Another wander down the South Tyne riverbank behind our village late afternoon in sunny calm crisp conditions. Overnight temperature dropped to -8 overnight and didn’t rise above - 2 all day, consequently river edges have frozen, river sill higher and faster flowing than usual after all the rain earlier last week price would be more extensive.

 

[Stewart J]

Following on from my previous post these photos illustrate the river level is slowly dropping as the overnight ice which formed around the exposed rocks is a centimetre or more clear of the surface.

The site that greeted me from my bedroom window this morning, only lasted for a couple of minutes. Going to be a lovely but cold day here in Wiltshire.

Minus 12 overnight and still only minus 6.9 at 10 am when I took these shots 10 minutes apart, solar hasn’t done much for quite a few days now under an inch of ice/snow hook up tomorrow for the day.

On a fine and bright winter’s afternoon Exmoor beckoned, so we headed up via Dulverton, across the moor to Porlock Hill overlooking the Bay.

Then parked up on the Luccombe Estate access road opposite the old Culbone Inn for a bracing walk down to the ancient St Beuno’s Church and harbour. If you’ve got the legs to do the walk, (and get back up the hill!), I can recommend it. It’s also more easily accessible via the South West Coast Path from nearby Porlock Weir. No decent photos of the church unfortunately, as it was so gloomy once the sun dropped behind the hills, but you’ll get an idea of its location and history, including that of the leper colony in the surrounding woodland, from these links:

Culbone Church | A Hidden Sanctuary in the Woods

Culbone Church is the smallest parish church in England... Considering there are around 16,000 churches in England, this is quite some claim to fame. I highly recommend visiting this magical place... Just a woodland walk west of Porlock Weir, a place of calm, solitude, history and reflection.

It has no electricity or running water but still welcomes worshippers, who have to arrive by foot.

Once we staggered back up to car and headed towards Exford we were however rewarded with a spectacular Exmoor sunset.

The last remaining Sound Mirror on the Roughs above the Royal Military Canal in Hythe. The older 20ft more bowl shaped mirror collapsed and wasn't repaired in 1987. These are historic monuments and around 100 years old and left to rot.

There are many more that are open to the public at various times on the gravel pits near the Lade between Littlestone and Greatstone on the coast near Dungeness. The site is now taken over by the RSPB. Location

The Lade Car-Park allows MH/Camper overnight parking. It's on P4N.

Hamelin Bay WA at 6am looking for Rays, yes saw 4.

 

[Mikey RV]

How unusual to find four guys on a deserted beach and all called Ray.

The difference a day makes after a rapid overnight thaw and river level still rising. South Tyne, SW Northumberland.
