Here's Sue, standing where there should have been hundreds of people assembling to start the annual 'Tatton Yule Yomp', a 10km race through the grounds of Tatton Park.
With icy conditions, the organisers decided to cancel the event. Probably wise. Someone would be bound to get injured and perhaps blame the organisers for going ahead.
Anyway, Sue and I went down to the park and walked a 'virtual' 10km in about two hours - over twice the time it should have taken us to run it. We did not adhere to the Yule Yomp route - it's easy to make up a 10km circuit in this park.
There was sunshine in the distance over Winter Hill and parts of the Peak District, but a thin layer of cloud hung above us for most of the morning, giving the pictures a rather bleak look.
The fallow deer, above, and red deer, below, were scampering in the localised inch or two of snow.
Here's our 10km route - click on the image for a version you can see properly.
Well, that was a nice walk, even if we didn't get to take part in the race. The medals will need to be collected from the organisers' shop in Wilmslow. (Picture to follow.)
