Whether you were out taking photographs, or trying your luck at making a snowman - it was a brilliant moment of relief for many from the monotony of lockdown.

But let's not forget that no doubt many people still had to head out to work, or needed to make those essential journeys and of course the no17 was on hand as it always is.

The Reading Buses services has long been a common site for the town as it never seems to let you down, come rain or snow!

This cracking picture taken by Reading Chronicle Camera Club Heidi Bryan sums it up perfectly.
