Dreaming of a white Christmas
You may remember ‘dreaming of a white Christmas’, but it’s not often these days that the snow actually falls on the right day. This year though it’s been different with cold weather and lots of snow – and ice – across Cumbria.
It’s not been great for driving and hundreds have been treated after falls on icy pavements and roads. But for children the snow has been a treat as this picture opposite shows as a young girl and her mother race down Coledale Common on a Christmas Day toboggan.
The second picture shows Skiddaw on Christmas day with a fine cover of snow. We remember it last like this sixteen years ago (see below), with snow covering the road outside The Larches and a snowy background behind. Though the front hedge at The Larches looks a little different, not much else has changed in Seldom Seen. It’s still a quiet retreat away from it all with marvellous views of the distant fells.
Got something to say?
