Unfortunately I didn't venture out this weekend, so instead I thought I would look back to the 20th January 2013.
Exactly a year today we got alot of snow and one of the most beautiful places to see in the snow is Margam Park. Below you will see a selection of pics I took at the time.
It would be fantastic if we had some more snow soon. I actually read on Twitter today that Pen Y Fan was snowy this morning, so who knows it could be on its way - if not then perhaps a trip up to Brecon next Saturday may be on the cards :)
