Snowtime/Sunday.

Sunday was the day that the Lord did make, I rejoiced and gave thanks.
It snowed, oh bliss, I just love snow.

Together with our Daughter Ingrid and her partner Mick, We built a Snowman for our darling Grandaughter Olivia,(aged almost two). I cooked a hearty Beef Cobbler Casserole with Crusted Parsley dumplings, served with a large dish of Mustardy Mash and Crunchy Greens.
To follow I made a Rhubarb, Ginger, Banana and Pear crumble which was accompanied by a large jug of custard.
All this was washed down with a bottle or two of Chateau Neuf du Pape, (Olivia stuck to her water). Only the adults were foolish enough to glug all the wine !
Later we all went for a walk in the local woods. By then, the snow was starting to melt, but it was still very pretty.
I believe there is more snow on the way tonight , so, I may just get my thereputic 'roll' in the Snow, Old Tarf !
Darling Trubes is 'snuffling' out the marshmallows, Bailey`s and the Drinking Chocolate as I write.
Heaven !

This Day -"No Business like Snow Business"



This Day-We acted out our shoe size instead of our actual ages.
As it was or we hope the last snow fall of winter.
Decided to make a Snowman on the Dartmouth Commons.
He looked like a proper snowman for a few hours.
Now looks like below. The Sun and kids and the odd dog got to him.
Always next year..........

Today is the Day, like 'Sleepless in Seattle'.

It has not stopped raining for twelve hours now !
I wish I could be back at the Inn at Whitewell, in the Trough of Bowland ,Lancashire, to relive the wonderful 'hoare frost'
crisp blue skies, rambling hills, and sheep bleating their lovliness on the firm and frosty ground.

Oh Bliss.

This day....

computer trauma
... I discovered that it is not a good idea to put a magnet next to a Mac Notebook computer screen.

In my defence, it looked pretty.
