A Sunny Winter Day in Cambridge, England

It looks like we have escaped the sub-zero temperatures during our time away. When we left  for Spain only two weeks earlier, England was covered in a magical layer of light snow. It was therefore quite a surprise to be welcomed by such beautiful sunshine on our day out in Cambridge.

January and February are the coldest months in England, although, the latter brings more sunshine. Frost does not last long and snow only makes an appearance occasionally. When it does, English villages look as if they are straight out of a fairytale.

Hello and welcome to my new blog!

I am writing to you from the East of England, where the countryside is still resting in its winter sleep. The days are slowly getting longer and although the coldest weeks are still ahead, there is already so much quiet beauty to enjoy in the English countryside - peaceful walks, frosty mornings and the first small signs of spring.
