Brrrrrr!!!


It is absolutely freezing here today, not sure of the general temperature but it is easily below zero. We are all snug by the fire as it's far too cold to even stick our noses outside. We had lovely snow fall yesterday and more forecast today.



Everything is coated in a thick layer of frost and we have fed the all the animals a bit more food. I hate seeing the wild birds pecking at the frozen ground and finding nothing to eat. The squirrels are much in evidence too, as they come down and literally chew the fat balls of the branches that we hang them on!


The thought of going back to work on Monday is too much to contemplate, especially if it stays as cold as this!


We had a lovely Christmas and Santa was very generous. I received my longed for CK bag, something I have coveted for ages and ages. More about that in another post though. For now it is about staying warm by the fire with some crochet and my Christmas books to hand as a diversion now and again.

It just remains for me to wish you a belated Happy New Year. Take care and keep warm!

Happy new year, Dev!
I'm looking forward to reading more about the CK bag.
Staying warm by the fireplace is something I really enjoy doing.
Beautiful pictures, by the way.

Hi and a Happy New Year. I have just blog hopped over here and can't wait to come back and have a good browse at your older posts, so I'm going to pop you on my blog list on my side bar. You have some lovely photo's and your craft work looks so colourful.

Happy happy New Year, Dev!

The picture with the doves is so beautiful.

Stay warm and cosy! We have had temperatures between -20 and -30 for a couple of weeks now, but for us that's just normal and our houses are build to take it, but I can believe you are really freezing there.
