Hoar frost: 12.12.08
Ice and sun on a lakeHaving stayed overnight in Rouen we travelled down this morning to Touraine. Quite thick fog from Rouen down to just south of Le Mans, where with the approach of the magical valley, the fog suddenly lifted replaced by bright sunshine, blue skies lighting up the still thick hoar frost still coating the trees. Decidedly cold – outside temperature dropped to minus 3˚C.
