In like a Lion....

So March has  certainly come in like a lion.......lets see if she goes out like a lamb?
We started with heavy snow with the beast from the East but the weekend brought a little feel of spring as the wind died down and came from another direction.
 I made cheese and onion pie....pure comfort food!



 We had lunch from our favourite Deli on Saturday


 Then set off for a walk in Saddleworth
This is the road I drive to work on.....you can see why it was closed because of the snow!
















On top of Lark Hill.....Hubby's mum lived in this house when she was a young teenager....middle of nowhere!





 When we arrived back home I realised I had lost my glasses. My expensive prescription reading glasses had fallen out of my pocket somewhere on the walk!


so off we went....to do the walk all over again.
What a difference a day makes....this time we had a little sunshine in Saddleworth.
















As we dropped back down into Yorkshire there was a definite Pennine divide. It was quite foggy near home.

We found my glasses....the last 10 minutes of the walk was on the road up from Dobcross to Delph.....they were there, in the road unfortunately they had been run over!

I popped into Rochdale after work one evening and as I was walking back to y car took some photos in the town centre.






 So we managed to get to work OK until the following Thursday....when we woke to this......again! 

It took everyone by surprise and I was late getting in to work that day.

 I was determined to get into work on the Friday.....we had to celebrate World Book Day (it had been cancelled the week before because the school was shut and we also had an afternoon tea party to put on for the parents/grandparents etc in the afternoon....I had been baking and planning my costume.
Inspiration


Inspiration from one of my favourite books, the Railway Children.
 I dusted off my stash of vintage china and tablecloths to make the tea party look pretty in the school hall. Last used for our BIG party in 2015!



and it went down really well. We had lost of positive feedback....I'm sure it will be a regular occurrence.
