The new, still young, year is cold. So very, very cold.
I put on a lot of warm clothes, and go out for walks. One day along the river, the next up the hills or into the woods.
Very little snow so far, and the very cold temperatures means that walking is not as slippery as walking in winter often is.
Cold, yes. Beautiful, yes!
Two facts:
In the Bleak Midwinter was written back in 1872 by the British poet Christina Rosetti.
The stone house you see in the first image is the old building of a power station not far from our house. When the Canadian_American comic strip artist saw an illustration of this house, either in an old book or on a postcard, he was inspired to draw Prince Valiant´s castle. Do you know the comic strip Prince Valiant? Wikipedia tells me that......The Duke of Windsor called Prince Valiant the "greatest contribution to English literature in the past hundred years"
