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.
