Snow Kirk Michael Tuesday 5th January 2010

Excited children, desperate motorists, transformed landscape - after watching weeks of snow in the UK snow had finally arrived in the Isle of Man. From about 7am for two hours the snow fell. Cold but wet snow from the east and then the snow stopped and the sky slowly cleared and the the sun came out.
This video is from about 8.15 for an hour or so.

Togetherness

Out for a walk last week when I noticed two birds on a fence. It was a freezing cold day and they were all fluffed up sheltering from the cold. I quietly got the camcorder out and, resting it on a fence post, started to video. The birds moved together and for a few minutes I was part of what appeared to be a world of peace and contentment. This is the way to start the new year.
