so have you all survived the snow? Dilly-dog loves the snow and will go out there and roll around in it (I know, crazy-dog!)

the snow sticks to her in clumps and she comes in covered in ice balls

she always makes me think of a brown bear in the snow, especially her back view ... I can just imagine her walking off in the snow into the forest with snow all over her!

look at that cheeky face ;)
photos taken through the window in the sunroom so they are not the best shots!

Bex, Joe, Kara and Gracie came for the weekend and we had a lovely walk with the doggies in the snow ...

It snowed today!! Winter is really here ... not the best time to snow though when the builders are putting the glass in the sunroom ... but they managed it ... bit sheets of glass! ... but it is now a proper room :)

It's been a really surreal day today ... we walked into town through the snow ... on the way Bex told me about a phone conversation she had had before we left ... can't tell you the details ... but totally unbelievably surreal!

Town was deserted, but the Post Office sorting office was full of people collecting their post as we haven't had any all week ... there was an old man there cracking jokes ... very funny ... then we went to Morrisons ... it was HEAVING ... busier than before Christmas, the queus were all the way down the isle and to the end of the shop! There was also no milk in the whole shop! Again, it was an old man that was keeping everyone amused!

The walk home was horrid though ... the bags of food were heavy and the snow was going in our face. I had a terrible headache when we got home .... I think I was feeling tense when walking while beeing cold :(

We got some food for our neighbours too ... sadly the old man over the road who had a stroke just before Christmas couldn't remember me even though we have met loads of times before :(

I still don't seem to be able to wake up early no matter how hard I try ... it is a weird week as because of the snow everything is disrupted and routine has gone to pot ... will not beat myself up about it .... but I must not give up trying!

Saw this AMAZING picture on the internet today of the UK covered in snow .... it looks just like something from the film 'The Day After Tomorrow' I don't know when the UK was totally covered in snow! We have to brave it into town sometime tomorrow ... got to pick up a parcel from the PO and we need some food (as well as the all important coffee!) I managed to get to the local PO today without falling over but the ice is about an inch thick outside our house.

It started falling last night and carried on until this evening ... lovely fresh white snow. Luckily I only had to go to the Post Office and I walked (without Dilly-dog ... didn't want to be pulled over!) I think it will be quite icy tomorrow though.

Still trying to get on top of work since coming back from Cornwall ... not quite un-packed it all yet ... in fact still not got into a good routine yet ... like now ... I should be asleep, but I am still awake and pottering! At least I am in bed I guess. Must cut down on my coffee intake in the evening (well all day really ... but lets start with the evening) that should help.

I slept really well last night and the night before ... makes me realise that I like my own bed ... its comfy ... does that mean I am getting old? I used to be able to sleep anywhere :/

Dilly is loving the snow ...

the snow sticks to her in clumps and its quite hard to get off ... but she does enjoy it :)

when she comes back in I tuck her up and keep her warm!

Some people love it ~ some people hate it! I know it can be dangerous when driving on, but I am one who loves it ... especially when it is fresh with no footprints in it. It started last night and by the morning our world was white. It was crazy-pup's first experience of snow and she LOVED it ... just wanted to be out in it all the time ... Dilly-dog is a fan too, so it was lovely to watch them play.
I braved it myself this afternoon to go to the Post Office ... it was so lovely on the way home, the sky was a beautiful peachy colour and it made the snow look magical.
