Early Frost

 

Early Saturday morning, the sky was clear and bright and the air was unexpectedly cold. Freezing even. But the beauty of it all was too good to miss.

On impulse I pulled on some clothes and set out for a short walk. Along the path to the top of the park....

....emerging from the trees to stand and breathe in the cold, still frosty beauty of the landscape.

It's very unusual for us to have such cold temperatures and frosty grass this early in the season....

....but it was incredible being out to witness it before the sun rose and melted it all away.

My walk took me down through the park and back along the quiet canal....

....where a few boats were just beginning to wake up, plumes of smoke rising from the chimneys.

The air was crisp and bright and the canal water was very still....

....with the most beautiful, clear reflections in the water.

There's the familiar old mill (now appartments) which we walk past every day on our way to school....

....and there's my familiar Attic View from a slightly lower persepective.

I love where I live so much.

I love the old fashioned terraced houses with their cobbled back streets and friendly inhabitants.

I love these incredibly tall pine trees at the end of my street that swish in the wind.

But most of all I love my little patch of Home.

I was waiting for your posts...
Great feeling to read one..
You are lucky to be able to live in such a great surrounding . I live in Mumbai a metro in India , very advanced, crowded .. people outside Mumbai feel we are lucky to be able to stay here with all the facilities, malls etc
But for me , who believes in simple joys feels its too congested, crowded and concrete .. trees are being cut to build new building to accommodate the swarms of people coming here in search of jobs and making money..
I would love to have my home in a more peaceful place.. more like yours..

So good to have you back. Have you seen this... http://crochetagain.wordpress.com/2012/09/28/double-crochet-with-no-turning-chain/. This shows you how to start with a proper double crochet instead of a ch3. It's brilliant!

Hi Lucy, I've got a quick question for you. Me and my friend are planning a small trip to the UK. Usually I buy my stylecraft DK online, but I figured that instead of paying €20 for sending costs, I could buy a ryanair ticket for €20 and go shop myself :) I love the little villages you always photograph in your blog, can you tell me where the most of them are located/where you buy the stylecraft? Then I know where I have to fly and where I can buy the yarn!
Love, Kirsten

Got lost in the pics....thanks for the adventure. I have started the Crochet Bag pattern and I love it. I have printed out all your patterns and I can't crochet fast enough. Thanks for sharing.

A lovely trip around your part of the country - we've not had any frost yet luckily, although it always looks so pretty first thing.

...as Dorothy said in the Wizard of Oz, there's no place like home.

Hi there, I really like your blog! At the moment I'm crocheting my first blanket by using your ripple pattern. Therefore I mentioned your blog on mine. If you want to, please take a look at lientjesneedlework.blogspot.com.
