Frosty morning

[anef]

I haven't been sleeping well, and one of the things they recommend is going outside early in the morning to reset your body clock.  I've been walking round the block in my pyjamas (and winter coat and hat!) as early as possible. This morning it was 9.30, the sun blasting a cold yellow fire from a pale blue sky, minus 4°C and the tall trees haloed every branch and twig in hoar frost.  So beautiful.

That sounds very fine.

When I'm on the houseboat trips, which are usually in late autumn, I'll wake at dawn, pull my coat over my pyjamas, and go out for a walk. But I can't remember when I last saw hoar frost!

You don't often see it in Cambridge! The topmost tiny icicles (iciclettes?) looked over 1/2 cm long, and all the branches and twigs had white haloes.
