I took the title to mean it was a winter wonderland where Will was in Devon, just as if I were to post it was snowing in Aberdeenshire, that would be in bit of Aberdeenshire I live in. I was going to suggest that Aberdeenshire was much larger in area than Devon etc, but was surprised to discover Devon is 7% larger than Aberdeenshire


Today was also a Winter Wonderland in Devon - well apart from South & West Devon and around Exeter. A couple of pictures taken this morning on/near Haytor.

The ground was frozen solid and small shallow pools had frozen sufficiently to walk on. Drifts to around 0.5m in height - with a frozen crust that you could easily walk on.
