Can it Get any Colder!!

Hello People, it is so cold here, and there is more snow forcast for today. I have just been out to top up the bird feeders and to break the ice on the bird bath and my feet nearly fell off they were so cold. I am definitely not going out today I think I will sort out my wardrobe and get rid of stuff I have been holding on to until I can fit into it, Why do we do that? Once that is done I aim to get stuck in to my bedroom decorating I have so many lovely new things to put in my bedroom so I have to get on with the painting etc. I am also going to make a large pot of soup probably Leek & Potato, this is everyone's favourite and maybe later on sit and machine some more bunting, it's coming on only another 40 metres to do.

Christmas is Back in it's Box

O.K Christmas is officially over can we please look forward to spring now, I have lots of buds appearing on things and Kathleen and I are off to the Garden Centre Sale tomorrow. Last year we bought loads of Christmas items that were on sale lovely decorations and things lots of things. We shall also eat a huge Scone and drink a huge cup of coffee to give us strength to go around again and the new plants will be starting to appear. It is a pretty day here today the frost is starting to melt in the lovely sunshine and I have been watching the birds eating all the goodies we have put out, my greateat thrill over christmas was to finally get Goldfinches eating in my garden they are so pretty. If we could just get the squirrels to stop eating all the fat balls life would be perfect.

Tea Pot

Hi Everybody, do you like this little teapot that was in my Christmas Sack it was a pressent from my son and I will certainly enjoy having a cup of tea from this pot. I hope you all had a great Christmas and that the coming year is a good one for you all. I am gearing myself up for my daughters wedding in August we are all very excited and looking forward to Kate and Steve's special day. I am full of food I should not have eaten and my new year resolution is to lose a LOT of weight for The Wedding whilst doing this I hope to get fit too. I am going to sew this afternoon we have been so busy I have'nt had time to sew and I really miss it. Have a happy day.

Mince Pies

Hello Everyone, sorry I have'nt posted for a while but I am so busy getting ready for christmas as I am sure so are you all. Today has been mince pie baking day and I have just finished icing some of them. The weather here is really wintry, it's very cold but the sun seems to come out every day and that always makes things seem brighter. I have lots of birds in my garden and we have put lots out for them to eat because everything is frozen and I have to keep defrosting their water. Thank goodness I have finished pressy shopping, all I have to do now is get fresh veggies and pick up my Turkey from the butchers. It is big cleanup day tomorrow so that everything is clean and ready to receive my lovely family. If I don't get time to come back before Christmas, I wish all of you a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year God Bless you all.

Forgot The Goose

Hi Everyone, I forgot to put my little goose on my last post so here he is, bought from the christmas shop in Provincetown on Cape Cod, I Love him.
Just after we bought him we went on a boat Whale Watching and I will never forget that What an experience!! the whales all came out to play and there were at least 20 to 30 around the boat doing their stuff it was magic!

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

Today we went to get our Christmas Tree from the farm, it has been a lovely day the sun was shining and there were lots of people doing the same as us. As predicted we walked across many fields before we found the right tree but it was worth it. The little glass ornament with the lighthouse I bought from Chatham on Cape cod and the other glass one is Murano Glass we bought in Rome it is the Nativity Scene, the little goose came from Provincetown on Cape Cod we also have some from Australia too they were hand blown and are lovely I will put those on next post. The little Swiss type chalet you see is a lovely little shop selling all things christmas and they also have mince pies you can eat there and then the man pointing at the tree is my husband Tony he did a little pose for you. We have just finished a lovely roast dinner so now I am going to relax and watch television with my feet up.
