spanter Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Nice seasonal pix Steve, just one thing, is that a magic bike? Mine would have fallen over before I turned round to take the shot. My brother got hold of a museum bike stand for the back wheel and it was well stamped down into the ground but I was amazed the bike never fell over aswell.

spanter Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 love this picture...next years xmas card That was the idea behind it we got quite a few pics but we didn't know the tree was on the parkland until my sister noticed it after we'd got to the top of the hill, we now know where to head to each year when it snows.

Tony B Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Except, now you'll probably have H&S insiting on frost wires fitted to the cables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woa2 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Thursday 12th Feb. Just had a light dusting of Snow here in Reading this evening. Stopped now, but it's still there. My Daughter phoned to say it's snowing in North Kent. Weather man on TV said that cold average temperatures now (which we have had) means that the Summer should be good. Might be a dry Beltring........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
