Enough.......

The drive to work was interesting, -8.5C and freezing fog.




I felt physically sick by the time I got to the A14.  I don't think I have ever felt so disoriented.  I was so pleased to finally arrive in the car park and turned the engine off, even if it is like a skating rink!  The snow is still laying and showing no signs of leaving any time soon.  I'm just thankful that the roads I use to get to and from work are clear.

I want sunshine, I want warm.  The heating in the showroom has been playing up and we have been cold there too.  A nice man came this morning and sorted it out but it still wasn't up to temperature before I went home.  Luckily I keep an extra cardigan on my chair, and I certainly needed it.

Its still foggy and -2C (forecast to be -6C before dark); I decided to give knitting group a miss this afternoon as I didn't want to drive home in the foggy dark.  Some will say pathetic but actually I'd rather sit home and knit, OK I'll need to talk to myself, but at least I'm safe and warm.

it was snow Sunday too!

the snow continued from around 10:30 this morning and hasn't stopped all day, not particularly heavy but enough to cover everything from yesterday and more besides.

Laurie and parents came to pick up Rufus.  We had a family roast lunch, Rachel and Stu walked down to join us, then it was a case of shall we stay or shall we go for the Jones family.  In the end they decided to go home and managed to get there safely.

Our visitor returned to the garden this afternoon, actually coming much closer to the barn this time

Our side patio which is fairly sheltered but as you can see still a fair amount of snow.  What the chances of it all being gone by the morning drive to work?

Snow Saturday

Yesterday it snowed all afternoon, quite fine snow, so we didn't have too much but enough to satisfy a small boy (big one too).

snow plough came in handy

After the snow, came the cushions - I had been smothered earlier, but luckily the camera was in the house!

Carpet picnic lunch and then a nap

Whilst he was asleep we had a visitor to the garden.  Photos taken through glass so not the clearest, plus I had to keep very still as he sensed I was there

Cold...... oh yes

....after the snow came the freezing fog, after the freezing fog came pretty.

It was -8C when I went outside this morning, but the world looked so lovely, here are a few photos to share with you.

We are forecast another cold night and snow from 2pm tomorrow through to 6pm on Saturday evening!!!

Keep warm people. I have the wood burner going and a suet pudding steaming for dinner

Our day
