the big freeze

it has been snowing here the last few days. i love snow, but it feels like the country has ground to a halt due to record low temperatures and treacherous road conditions. its freezing here especially as my boilers packed in. so its time to get hyggelig with woollens, blankets, hot water bottles, lots of hot chocolate, snowboots, scarfs and snuggly cats.

quaint living

i just love these images of canal boats in the snow taken by alice and found on her beautiful blog quaint living (where she also shares some very yummy recipes including this one i fancy making for banana walnut bread.)

my little gingerbread cookie

yay! we did have a white christmas! it was still white from the last snowfall then more snowflakes as we were driving away from my mothers house on christmas day after dinner. i took my cat cissy outside to see the snow. i thought she might enjoy it having once been a stray (she has bad eyesight hence her leash) but her tail all went bushy and she trembled so i took her back indoors to warm up. she must be feeling this chilly weather as she taken to keeping cozy by snuggling up under the duvet with me every night!

note her perfect little heart shaped ginger patch on her back. just like a gingerbread cookie!

more snow is forcast here soon. i hope you are all enjoying the holidays.
