Today, of course, it's back to rain again. Personally, I'd rather have the crisp cold of dry bright day! The thing about lovely misty mornings is having the incentive to be up and about in time - I'm not sure I'd manage that in the winter if I didn't have to be at college after an hour's drive!

Thanks for your lovely comments, I was very taken with the Narnia lamp post too but the more I looked at the mist, I began to wonder if it seemed a teensy bit sinister ….. ! Morrison's never fail to surprise do they! I also found some Pink Firs in Morrisons a couple of weeks ago - delicious! - but it puts growing them into perspective when you can buy one tuber for 20p and get a sackload as a return! Roll on spring time and Potato Day!

When I lived in Church Fenton, near Tadcaster, I remember some spectacular fogs - so much so that you couldn't see the side of the road which made for some interesting night journeys with my Dad at the helm!

I like to experiment with growing different herbs and started by thinking that one herb bed would suffice … silly me! I'm expanding to two more herb beds this year although the favourite still has to be parsley as people can come and pick just the amount they need!

I hope you manage to keep your French Tarragon going through the winter, they really don't like extreme cold! Mine has now been in the ground for 2 years so I imagine the roots are fairly deep. I've cut mine back and there are new shoots just coming through so I'm hoping that the plastic box will do the job!

I was so thrilled to get the mist photos; I've seen this only once before but on that occasion I was driving home with traffic behind me so couldn't stop. I think if you love being outside, you start to notice the beauty of nature, whatever the time of year. I do sometimes find it hard to contain my enthusiasm for photographing nature!

Love the frosted grass, sparkling berries and the misty scene complete with Narnia like lamp post. Hope that the fresh air will help your cold to disappear - being outdoors is a good plan of attack for getting rid of those nasty germs. Completely off topic but you may be interested to know that I went to Morrisons yesterday and guess what - they had Pink Fir Apples at £2.99 a kilo!
