FROSTY BUSH
FROSTY FENCE POST      The hawthorns on Shakespeare cliff were coated in a thick frost this morning,Paul and I were of the opinion that this was rime frost caused by freezing fog, but Caddy Lee Preston said on t.v that it was hoar frost so any expert opinion would be welcome.

    How about advection frost, Phil?
    Incidentally, the photo that Kaddy showed of frost this evening was taken by Peter Gay, a renowned local naturalist.

    Great shots of the waxwings, for which no apology is needed. 12 this morning, 23 at lunchtime, now 30!
