I expect that everybody has seen enough of snow over the past week. Not much news has been reported to us this week as a result of everybody staying home but you still might like these photos and the film. I took the photos on Thursday.

I did just manage to drive home from town after filming the snow falling on Tuesday evening, however my van was stuck at home from that point on for three days. On Thursday, Tina needed to get to work and so she walked. Tina suffers from severe arthritis in her spine and walking is difficult for her on a sunny summer's day and so her walk to work on the snow and ice was slow and I went with her, to make sure that she was OK. On the way there and back, I took several thousand scenic photographs. Some of these can be seen as pictures below but most went into the making of the film immediately below this text. It is the last 'snow' film I intend to make this year and it is perhaps a little arty farty.

Pink Floyd have been my favourite band since the 1960, however, the music in this production is not nicked from a Floyd album. It is a piece I specially licensed for this particular video. On reflection, I should have used a tripod and taken more photos during the pan sequences but my main reason for being out was for Tina, so shooting the scenes came secondary.

The movie starts outside my family home in Cawdor and 'Snowy', the snowman was created by my sons, Matt and Chris, my daughter, Sarah and their respective boy / girlfriends. I hope you enjoy this walk by the River Wye....
