Over the New Year it was very cold here though also quite bright, with a few bursts of weak sunshine that lit things up quite nicely. The whole of the UK is in the grip of Arctic air, though we've not yet had any snow in Yorkshire.
I managed to hurt my back on NY Day (doing exercises that are supposed to help strengthen my back!) so I was pretty stiff and sore. By the next day it was still sore but I was a bit more mobile, so I went for a three mile walk. My back is always a bit stiff, just some days hurts more than others, and I find regular walking seems to help on the whole.
I was well wrapped up but the wind was icy. I haven't ever really found a satisfactory way of stopping my mouth and nose getting cold, so that when I get back in the warm, my teeth hurt! I've tried scarves and a stretchy buff, but then it's hard to breathe and they get all wet, urgh. Despite the discomfort I enjoyed the walk.
(I'm a bit short of 'blog fodder' and not getting out anywhere very exciting at the moment, so don't worry if I'm missing for a few days here and there.)
I love how the bare trees/bushes give such interesting sights which would have been hidden at other leafier times. Of course you are not contracted to produce daily photos, but I'll miss you!
ReplyDeleteI always wish that I could keep my face warm in windy cold weather but nothing but a mask of some sort works and then like you say it gets wet. Stay warm.
