We are effectively snowed in.
The lane clogs up easily with ice and snow at the drop of a hat so this does happen a lot in bad weather, but we have food, fuel and thanks to the new thermal store wonderful wood fired central heating, so all is toasty in Bwthyn y llan.
I've done my neighbourly jobs this morning and after feeding up Irenevand the batchelors with corn I have salted and cleared the pavements in old Trevor's bungalow which lies behind us. Trendy Carol ( in multicoloured ski jacket and matching accessories) tottered past and informed me that the village carol service was cancelled due to the bad weather.
This is a shame as Cameron the teenage boffin, was to solo a big moment in the proceedings on his harp!
I was never good at anything, apart from sulking and keeping tropical fish when I was a teen.
Mary and I this morning
Irene and the Bachelors? Sounds like a pop group. Didn't they record a cover of Black Sabbath's "Snowblind"?
ReplyDeleteSomebody should get Cameron to play at a Christmas church service so his hard practice doesn't go to waste.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you were good at stuff as a teen but people skills are probably your forte and they are not highly valued in that world
You and Mary look so cute in the snow!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your cozy day at home.
Your new window looks posh. Is your beard white or has it gone frosty?
ReplyDeleteSame here. What is the new thermal store?
ReplyDeleteI think he means stove...
DeleteOh, that. I have never heard of a woodburner described as thermal, only vests and long johns. Thanks.
DeleteOur is a thermal store....two systems one heating and reheating the other ( best I can describe it)
DeleteYes, I get it, an accumulator. I thought it wasn't a fat finger misprint because r and v are not close together on the keypad.
DeleteIt['s beautiful isn't it at the moment. Not often we get this much snow in our neck of the woods. The Pug had a mad half hour in the paddock before, she's never seen so much white stuff :-)
ReplyDeleteSun forecast for tomorrow
DeleteNow it's tomorrow .... and you were right, glorious sunshine.
DeleteUnfortunately it won't reach our side of the hill until late afternoon so it's not having much effect on melting the snow or ice. But it looks wonderful :-)
we got 4 inches; my snowplow guy cleared my sidewalk and driveway.
ReplyDeleteyou look very cold out there with mary.
Are you happy with 4 ins?
DeleteLooks very cold there. I hope you have on a budgie warmer? We too got snow, first of the season. Seems everybody got snow.
ReplyDeleteGot my big pants on
DeleteNo snow but it is 37ºF in Florida this morning ..brrrrrr....
ReplyDeleteI imagine it all looks like a Christmas card there today .. so beautiful .. so cold :)
So irritating ! X
DeleteI like the snow early in the morning and late at night. Sounds are muffled and the Christmas lights look great. The first time it really snowed when I first retired was fantastic. No commute! I did a happy dance in my PJ's until I had to go get my grandkids for a snow day. Enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteI like the cornflake crunch of snow on a hard frost
DeleteI am envious - snowed in with food and a wood-burner sounds good to me.
ReplyDeleteI'm writing Christmas cards while the chicken roasts. The Prof is in his office wirking
DeleteDoes Mary enjoy the snow?
ReplyDeleteFunny, both Welsh terriers get very excited in snow, even William in his dotage. George just potters in it as usual. Winnie hates it with a vengeance
DeleteIt looks 'purty' and I'm a little jealous! Our little town closes up, too, after a snowfall!
ReplyDeleteSnuggle up and enjoy the snow day.
ReplyDeleteI so want snow but Somerset seems to be a snow free zone since we moved here. Enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteIt's been snowing all day here in Enfield. Due to rain later. John, you have wonderfully kind and soulful eyes! :)
ReplyDeleteLike two fried eggs in a bucket of blood xx
DeleteNot at all. x
DeleteI tell you . . .
ReplyDeleteFirst snowfall of the season is like magic around here . . .
Two days in a row we ended up with bunches . . .
Twelve and a half inches of the gorgeous snow!
YIPPEE . . .
Our snow will be gone tomorrow
DeleteMary looks as if she is enjoying the weather a bit more than you are.
ReplyDeleteThe Welsh terriers seem to love the snow x
DeleteStay cozy!
ReplyDeleteYou've had a snowfall worthy of Canada!
ReplyDeleteAt last we Brits have done something right
DeleteIt seems to have snowed all over the world. It snowed here. My sparrows are happy.
ReplyDeleteWe have a flock of thirty or so on the field. I fed them seeds this afternoon
DeleteIt is snowing here too. I'm so grateful to be in a warm home.
ReplyDeleteNice photo of you and Mary with the snow and church in the background.
Greetings Maria x
Keep warm Maria , greetings to you too x
Deletexx
DeleteWalking Dead finale tonight while warming by the fire?
ReplyDeleteE don't see it until tomorrow! Bet carl gets killed
DeleteThat kitchen photo is great and is Mary standing on the wall behind you?
ReplyDeleteNo she has extraordinary long legs
DeleteI like that morning photo. Me...using some of the hundreds of old pictures that no one but me has ever seen.
ReplyDeleteLove that photo of you and Mary.
ReplyDeleteAnd suspect kylie was right about your teenage skills.
She wasnt
Delete:)
ReplyDeleteNo snow here - please keep it over your side of the country. Like the hat.
ReplyDeleteIt's about 28degrees here and bloody humid!... I could do with some snow! Keep warm.
ReplyDeleteJo in Auckland, NZ
We even had to turn on the heat in Central Florida this weekend.
ReplyDeleteIs that the lane window where people peek in?? I love that photo! The color scheme you selected for your kitchen is one, if not the, favorite of mine. Love looking at yours. I wish we were neighbors.
ReplyDeleteSnow much easier for our 4 legged friends to do a balancing act.
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate your professional approach.These are pieces of very useful information that will be of great use for me in future.

So as far as I know you don't keep tropical fish any more. Your passion for them must have waned somewhere along the line?
