Snow Scenes
During the late evening of Saturday 4th February 2012, and for a while overnight, Holme-next-the-Sea (as well as many other parts of the country) saw a steady fall of snow. With the aid of a stiff breeze, there was considerable drifting in places.

The snow found its way in through the louvres of the belfry of the church tower. The bells and their fittings took on a rather Christmassy appearance during this February snowfall.
However, when the largest bell was first rung for Sunday service, there was an accompanying flurry of snow down in the ringing room!
