testing the snow


Like I say, Lucy did go out and she left these cute little paw marks on the path.

Unexpected day off


I have had an unexpected day off today. The whole country is sleeping under a blanket of snow and being a wimp I phoned school to let them know I didn't make it out of the valley and came back home. Of course now there is a beautiful blue sky and I feel a bit guilty. The snowdrops of course look best surrounded by the snow and when I went out to feed the birds, Lucy came out with me but was soon back inside curled up in her warm airing cupboard. As I sit here the snow has started again there are bull finches and robins trying to dig out the treats from the snow on the bird table.Having this extra 'me' time, I have decided to put the scarf I am knitting to one side and start on a felted animal-something I have been meaning to do for months.

1st blog!

Sunday morning, lying in bed and reading blogs on the laptop. I decided to set up my own and 'Hey Presto' here it is!
Snow due later, the electric blanket is keeping us here for now although I may venture out later to look around the garden, fill the bird feeders and inspect the few flowers that have managed to hang on through this recent cold spell. The snowdrops I planted outside the conservatory window have all braved the weather and their snowy white heads are bobbing in the wind.
This blog may be the ramblings of a 40 something but to me it's every day life.
