Snow fun

The weather men have been threatening it for a few days now but last night it finally decided to snow - and anyone who knows me will know how happy that makes me!! I wasn't sure about the accompanying thunderstorm at half ten last night - a bit strange.

I know it is only a dusting but it is the start of things to come. Please note the reappearance of our car back on the driveway where it belongs - albeit temporarily. With Saab UK going into receivership this week we did wonder if we would see it all back together again. After 4 weeks it still isn't fixed but the garage are coming on Friday to take it away again and hopefully this will be the last time it needs to go to car hospital.

Going Green

After working on the garden over the weekend we decided that our garden looks rather "green" with not a lot of colour about. I don't suppose there is much we can do about it now but I need to have a look at some bulb catalogues to see what we can plant in the Autumn for a more colourful display next Spring and Summer.

But in the meantime it looks as though it won't be too long before some plants burst into life.

A lazy Sunday

Today has been a gorgeous day weather wise - so nice in fact that I have eaten by breakfast, lunch and tea out in the garden!

It has been a day spent at home - pottering around the garden and planting a few new shrubs and generally having a tidy up - but I have to admit that my role in all this activity was purely in a supervisory role!!

























Reading lots of my latest library book which to be honest I didn't think was going to be my sort of thing but turned out to really enjoy.























Painting my toenails bright pink.























Flicking through the Specsavers mag trying to decide of my new glasses.























Road testing the new Jamie Oliver BBQ - again I was supervising as I do not cook outdoors!!























And enjoying a Shirley Temple.
