Larkin Statue

Recently installed in Hull's Paragon Station this larger than life statue of Philip Larkin completes a far too long jamboree of arty celebrations of the death 25 years ago of this somewhat overrated wordsmith.

Ice fountain

Big Charley in the snow

Charley is a big cat, the biggest I've ever seen, but he really hates deep snow. He much prefers the warmth of Summer.

Icicles

When all this snow and ice is gone the gutters are going to need fixing; every joint has icicles hanging from it.

It's still cold ....

Dunnock

Depending on your politics this is either a dunnock , a hedge sparrow or a hedge accentor, possibly a hedge warbler. Either way it's a pretty enough little brown thing with a complicated social life and sexual habits you wouldn't believe.
Normally they creep around under bushes but the cold weather brought them closer to the bird table and the camera.
I thank Margot Juby for letting me use this photo.

Cottingham Church in Snow

I forged my way through snow and ice to bring you this view of Cottingham Church.
