winter

I've had enough of the snow now, pretty as it is maybe through the window, it's starting to get in the way. Today is the day to take down and put away Christmas decorations, I want to put the snow away too!

I must tell you how kind Kathie from Massachusetts is, she sent me a key. It's a key for my wind up, tin toy, Russian dolls. Thanks to Kathie I can now watch my pair of Russian dolls rotate and twirl.

Ashley passed his driving test on Monday, he had his car delivered yesterday. Today it's snowed in, no chance to play with it. What mums put up with for love of their children. I can honestly say before this year I had never seen a single episode of Top Gear. Now thanks to my, newly acquired, petrol head son and DAVE, by default, I have seen most of them and more than once. I can't tell you what I think of Jeremy Clarkson!

I had to take this photo, the last of the windfalls on the garden table. As the temperature plummets I hope the birds take advantage of these apples.
