We're All White Now in The UK!

Hello, my dear friend!!! The weather has turned to showery today, after a whole week of beautiful sunny weather. Wow... thank you for looking at the picture. That was only one, of three, but you've confirmed much of what two of us have seen in them. The one with the hat, we saw as a woman. She looked as though she was perhaps from the middle ages, or even regal, going by the hat. The little dog and the animal are new to me, but I'll take another look... I saw a childlike face in the laurel and also a green person. Might I draw your attention to the right-hand side of the picture, where the rambling rose goes over the fence, and near the fence post? Drop your eyes just a little way down, and tell me if you see a child? That mist is relevant too. A friend swore to me it came down into the garden from the field at night, and also, that there was somebody behind the hedge between my garden and my neighbour's. I had to cast a circle to calm them. That's possibly why you're drawn to it. I have my own ideas about it but I don't think I want to say here, what. I'll tell you elsewhere, PM, or something. I'm not afraid of it. Thank you for popping in. Those pictures made me look at the little Mite again, and the activity is still there. I may take a trip over there this year and take some more pics... see what they turn up. No, I haven't lost my marbles just yet, but I do feel I have protection around me. Brightet Blessings to you and yours, my friend, with an extra ((((hug)))) for your Dad, and one for your ((((niece)))). xoxox

Brightest* Blessings, even!

hi Darkwing. hows the weather. we are having some beautiful days the last couple of days. but i wish we got some rain, we are again in great need of it, especially the farmers around here and before the frosts start to take their toll. Thank you for the picture, and i have been studying it. and yes it is a reminder of our little one from before. you have some little faces hiding under the leaves of some of the plants. its like they are trying to pretend they cant be seen some of them. but in the bush on the left, about half way up, there is a very prominent figure, a bit of a scared look on the face and wearing a hat, and just to the left of that a type of animal face and a bushy tail. but something else i noticed is in front of that bush on the ground looks like a little dog. reminds me of gissi.there is also something about the mist behind the tree near the fence. i dont know what it is but i am drawn to it. well, take care, and best wishes to you. xxxx

I have accepted your friends request, Angel, so you should be able to comment now if you still wish to. Yes, Newcastle gets a lot more snow than us, or London. It gets a lot colder up that way as well... the North East Coast suffers the weather from Norse Lands, and that can be pretty severe at times. My sister-in-law lives near Whitby, on the North Yorkshire Moors, and they are on the same jetstream, so suffer a lot of cold and white weather. It's a shame about the bulbs, but they will come again, I'm sure. They won't die off completely. Brightest Blessings and thank you for such a detailed and pleasant contribution. I'm happy to accept you as a friend. x

Oooops, sorry, forgot your pic. Here it is!

Yes, Whitby is on the coast and therefore gets quite a lot of the bad weather. Mind you it is a lovely place. I remember visiting it years ago when I was studying Geology for my A levels - I loved it there. My BF loves it there too. The views, the seas are all envigorating. Thanks for accepting the friends request. I have commented on your picture - I love 'em. Keep posting them, please!

No I am ok lol Just worried in case this cold gets worse as I am fed up going to the Doctor but I will have to as I will have to go to my Steroids again and I do not want them I will look at the Picture now and thank you for posting it Love you xxxx

You're quite welcome, and I hope you enjoy the picture. It was taken quite early on, when it wasn't too dark, so I caught the colour of springtime in it as well as the snow. I'm so glad to hear you're ok, other than the cold. Try to nip it in the bud, my friend, so that you don't have to visit the doctor. It's probably the thought of the steroids that's bringing you down, if you don't want them. Take care, and get well soon. Love you. xxxx

Ohhhhhh dear, we are upset, aren't we? Is this the same friend who was asking for snow to be sent in March? It's not so much later, and not that unusual for snow to fall in April, my dear friend. It was forecast as well, for Sunday, so they're telling you all they can. Are you ok, there? You seem to be stressing out for some reason! I'm sorry to hear you're coming down with a cold and sore throat, but that's not the fault of the snow, my friend... more likely the sunny weather and rain. Frost kills off germs, I think you'll find. Wrap up warm, and take lots of fluids, including lemon juice, if you have some, and you'll soon be right as rain. I'm posting one of my more colourful photos for you, in the hope it will make you feel a bit better. Take care, Gabs... love and hugs. xxxx

beautiful makes ya want to lay down and make snow angels

Wow... thank you for all that information, my dear friend. I learn a little each day... fascinating. Our hills (don't qualify as mountains) are pure white at the moment, and the trees on them are green. It's quite a pretty contrast. Another pic for you, my friend... hope you like it. Brightest Blessings, love and hugs. xxxx

Well yeah! But, I'd never get up again!

You must be seeing something I missed there my friend, because I had only spotted things in Response 2, second photo, response 4 and response 14. I shall go right away and check out no. 11. So many people can see things in these pictures... it's just like the Little Mite pics I took. Yes, I'm lucky to have a beautiful view from both front and back, and to wake each morning to look upon the back view of the garden and field. Can't stay any longer... got to check our No. 11. Brightest Blessings and thank you so much for your contribution. x

WOW... you're so right. I'd been looking mainly at the garden, but although there are a couple in the foreground, there are many more, really obvious ones in the trees surrounding the field, at back, right-hand side, and to the left of that. Sheeeeeeesh, I have a lot of company here! That explains something which was said to me last summer, by a friend. Thank you!!!

They did forecast it ahead. It's stopped here now and a bit brighter but there's still plenty of it lying. Apparently, it worked its way down from the north overnight... I'm just fourteen miles from the south coast, and Brighton had it too this morning, if not worse than us. I'm glad you liked the photo... I'll post another for you, which you might enjoy. I took heaps! Brightest Blessings my friend, and thank you for your contribution. We're to expect more snow tomorrow by all accounts.

Yes, it does, and I'm glad you got your snow, at last. We'll probably get what you have now, during the night, as they forecast showers of it here through the night. What snow is left, has frozen over now, so it's there now at least until morning. Strange weather. x

Ok I opened my mouth too soon, that is what you get for bragging, gemini_rose, it is now snowing here and has turned freezing! Photos are lovely, you have some fantastic scenery around you, and the snow always seems to make everything so special somehow.

It depends whether it was a rare occurrence to have snow on April 19th, I guess. I think the last time we had snow in April must have been almost twenty years ago, so let's hope you're lucky this year. There is a lot of blossom about because of the mixed rain and sun, so you should have a good crop as long as it doesn't get ruined again. You might just be able to see the Polyanthus in this one! Brightest Blessings, my dear friend, and thank you for your input. x

Yes, we are lucky, because it makes everything look so beautiful. Added to the fact that there is a lot of pink cherry blossom, and japonica blossom out at the moment, the colours, mixed with white, are quite dramatic, if not slightly odd. Brightest Blessings and thank you for our contribution. Here's another pic for you.

Ha ha ha! That'll be the day, my friend. We're very mixed race in England. Not that I mind too much, because I like to learn about the different cultures. It caught your eye, anyway, which is a good thing! Great to see you here and thank you for you contribution. Brightest Blessings.

Here's what I meant by All White! lol.

My daffodils suffered the gales and rain, and were already on their way out, but the snow certainly helped them on their way. There was something quite magickal about the colour of the spring flowers and blossoms beneath a blanket of snow. You can see some polyanthus to the right of this picture and some daffodils drooping in the centre. Brightest Blessings, my friend, and thank you for your contribution.

I don't think you're lame my friend. I know snow doesn't lie as long in the City as it does in the countryside. Thank you very much for posting... I find it a pretty picture as well, so I'm posting another for you. In this one, the bench is close to my neighbour's house wall, but I like the Japonica Blossom in it, so thought you might too. Brightest Blessings and thank you for your contribution my dear friend. x

We didn't actually wake up to it. It was clear at eight this morning, but by a quarter past ten, it had snowed like mad and started settling. My Granddaughter was in Essex this morning, in Chelmsford, and she said it had snowed, but not settled there, so perhaps that's why Gabs didn't like it. We still have some here, which had frozen over by eight o'clock, and we're forecast showers tonight, so I don't know if we'll have more tomorrow. I quite like it. There's no wind, so it's not that cold feeling. I'll leave you an extra pic as well, my friend. Brightest Blessings. xxxx

Yes, it's hard for me to believe too, my friend, especially in the part of the UK I live in. It's usual for Scotland, the North and the Midlands to get it, but we never have anything to speak of here. However, I don't think it's so much global warming or harm to the planet, as a changing of seasons. They seem to be going on later these days. Time will tell. Brightest Blessings and thank you for your contribution.

I missed out on giving you a picture, Youless. So I've come back to post one for you. x

Yes, it was really beautiful, my dear friend. My little Granddaugter went sledging, and also built a small snowman in her garden. Would you do something for me, please? I'll contact you by IM, regarding this discussion. I just want to see what you make of some photographs. Brightest Blessings and thank you for your contribution. Glad to see you back. x

Awwww.. I'm sorry to hear you have the flu, my dear friend. I hope you get better soon, and as you liked the pic, as did the others, I'm posting one for you, and everybody else who responds. Brightest Blessings and get well soon! xx

Sure, I've posted some of the pictures in previous responses, if you'd like to take a look at them, and I'll post one in here for you. Thank you for your contribution, and I hope your winter isn't too harsh. Brightest Blessings my friend.

Yes, it's very pretty and everything, but I'm wanting to get out for my springtime walks now. The weather needs to improve. We're forecast even more snow for tomorrow. I'm posting you a pic showing a flowering camellia, covered in snow, which will give you some idea of the oddity here. Brightest Blessings and thank you for your contribution.

Yes it seems it is bad most of the time. I can't get used to all the chopping and changing. Thank you for your contribution and Brightest Blessings.
