Mendip Snow

Along Pelting Drove, the road to Priddy from Wells, is this fence.  Fences are rare here as the fields are divided by beautiful dry-stone walls.  But this fence is so long it disappears to a dot in the distance.

And Finally…

The wind and snow was so dramatic I had to make a video.  I was so cold, and the wind so strong, it was hard to face into the snow.  No chance of using a tripod – it would have disappeared down the fields.
