October snow, Sowcroft Lane
October snow, Sowcroft Lane
Looking from Sowcroft Lane down the track that leads towards Swaines Hill Manor Farm. Unusually early snow dusts the fingerpost and the old man's beard.

In fact, snow in October in this part of the world is extremely rare. Sleet or wet snow falls in the South-East on average about once every ten years, but the last time it settled was in 1926. And the last time there was as much on the ground was in 1880. [Information provided by meteorologist Philip Eden.]
