First frost

This is what I saw this morning. The first official frost of the year. I even heard that in some places nearby, they had seen a bit of snow. There was no snow here, not a sign of it, but the temperatures were below zero and almost wintery. Are we going to finally have, here in England, a proper winter? I had lost hope the last few year: news channels keep repeating, every single year, that it will be the harshest winter on record, or something of the sort, but it never happens.We always end up having a mild, sometimes cool and always wet season. But this, so early in November, this cold and dry temperature... It is most welcome.
