| 7.00am. The moon just setting behind the houses. |
I woke up to an extremely heavy frost, and all the house roofs were white. It was
-3C during the night. I looked out of the upstairs window watching the moon sinking out of sight below the horizon. The garden plants were etched in rime. Here is a lingering alchemilla mollis, determined to outlast the beginnings of the proper winter weather.

As usual, I went outside and took some more photos once the sun began to appear. A fine bright start to the day. But cold.My breath hung on the air in a mist. It is finally feeling like winter, and the days are truly short. Sunset at 3.55pm. Sunrise at 8.00am. There are now only 8 hours of daylight, with the winter Solstice coming up on the 22nd December.Known as the Shortest Day of the year here in the UK.
