Frostier and frostier

Went to Chingford on the 97 bus this morning. Leyton slightly damp with no frost, but as I went through Walthamstow there appeared frost on the grass and the cars and it all got whiter and whiter as I approached Chingford.

I then went out in a friend's car to Whillingdale where there are 2 churches in one churchyard. The story is 2 sisters argued and each ended up building their own church. In reality the first church was a Norman church, the second one came 200 years later when the wool trade had increased the numbers in the parish. Instead of knocking down the church and building a bigger one,they split the parish, building the church for the new parish in the graveyard.

A very nice day with friends - but only possible because Tony has a car.
