My snowy house

Brrr! I hope you are managing to stay cosy.  I’m keeping warm with lashings of hot steamy cocoa, even managed to burn my tongue yesterday so there’ll be no French kissing from me for a while. I do wish the boys would take their snowy boots off before they come into the house; they make such a mess – even had to tell Guy off about it yesterday.

The weather has meant that this week’s meeting of the Upper Welford Greenhouse & Garden’s Society was cancelled.  The committee decided it was too hazardous for our elderly members to make their way along the icy pavements on a dark evening plus the boiler in the village hall was playing up.

Winter Aconites

It means of course that not only shall I have to wait until another time to hear speaker Mr Gordon Balmer on  Prune Your Exotics but also that I’ll miss my fortnightly dose of gorgeous committee member Simon & the remaining strands of his hair silhouetted in the slide projector.

Conversely, there’s been signs of new growth in my garden as the winter aconites have started to peep through the receding snowline.  Soon will follow the snowdrops & the hope that Spring and all its brightness will soon be with us.
