White world

Yesterday they said we'd get some snow, but by mid afternoon the sky was still blue so I thought we'd got away with it.  At 5pm I looked out of window and it was snowing heavily,  and so it carried on till the next day.  Took photo at 9.30 this morning, we'd had about 9 inches of snow!    At that point we'd had no newspaper,  didn't blame our paper boy (fully grown man actually),  but guess what?  15 minutes later he turned up with the paper!   Then a neighbour rang to ask if we needed anything,  only thing we were short of was milk, and she kindly went and got us some, then offered to clear the path.  She also checked on our downstairs neighbour. 

We haven't had any more snow today, but more is forecast... hope it eases off later in the week to give me a chance of getting some shopping.  We had no buses, no trains and some taxi firms only ran a limited service.  With no buses there wasn't anything heavy enough to churn up the snowy roads. 

Only one thing to do, get crafting, so I did.  Made two pairs of earrings,  and then did a bit more work on decorating my udu drum,  coming along nicely.  Haven't had chance to do anything with it these last few weeks, it has just been card making 24/7, or that is what it felt like. 

Off to catch up on Strictly....
