It has been my intention for quite some time to post diary blogs (from my notebooks) on holidays that I had not written about in this way. My older notes are more brief than my current notes, so the ‘historical’ holiday journeys I share with you will be less detailed.

*Phew*, I hear you say ;-)

Tomorrow I will start with our anniversary weekend away in  Malmesbury  2009.

A strange eerie fog was surrounding the building just like when we had our 24 hour candlelit vigil and the temperature was just as cold as it was on that day too. This gave me the idea of taking some nice photos of the frost on the way to the hairdressers.

I had hoped to get a photo of the lake frozen over with the seabirds huddling together in the middle.  I parked my car as close as possible but after setting out on the short walk I decided that I was risking life and limb as the paths were a lot more slippy than I thought.  As I was alone apart from my friend the Robin (who declined to have his photo taken) I decided not to risk it by walking too far down the path which left the lake tantalisingly just around the corner out of sight.

I did however manage to get a few shots of the frosty paths and surrounding trees.  After taking the photos I navigated my car back carefully along the frosty road and back onto more civilised territory, where my car lost all traction with the road and refused to pull forward for a few moments.
