Ohhhhh Shirl, brace yourself and batten down the hatches. You could be building a snowman tomorrow!!

I love semolina.....especially made with evaporated milk. A nice cold weather pudding. I like it set as a cold pudding with sliced pears in it too.OH would join you with the bread and butter pudding Frank, but right now I could eat a nice treacle sponge with custard.

Edwardian Farm tonight. We watched the Turn Back Time programme last night....the 60s this week. I said to OH that the supermarket wire baskets hadn't changed since then. I remember mum having a bit of a beehive hairdo, but I was into long wavy hair with a bit of backcombing at the back of the top. A parting down the middle and sellotape to hold the 2 sides close to my face while it dried. I can just smell that nice creamy Lin-co-lin beer shampoo.

Thank goodness she got home ok Jane ,has she got some where she can stay if the trains don't run ?i should imagine the hotels are all full.
I think we have been really lucky this way when you see all the problems on the news .

Jane

Jane Report 1 Dec 2010 21:35

Yes, she has her friend Polly who she could stay with .She has certainly had 'FUN ' the first 3 days of commuting lol.,and if really desperate she has her cousin Matthew at Uni somewhere in that area.
Watching the Jungle.I can see Stacey winning this ,even though I like Jenny.

just checking in to say goodnight
Ann we watched the Edwardian Farm tonight,I am really enjoying this series maybe because I have visited Morwellham Farm, and can remember my day there.
well its still very cold but we have had no snow for the last couple of hours, need to get OH to take me to the supermarket tomorrow we will shortly be needing some Milk and a few other things that are running low.

I am kipping down in the back bedroom to night as I do not want to over expose my self to OH cold, he probably will be snoreing all night due to a stuffed up nose

Morning Mandy and All,

A little snow falling this morning and I am supposed to be going out today. It was'nt so cold last night, well it did'nt feel it in here.

Sheila not nice when you bang your head so do be carefull. Hope it is not so sore today. Thanks for the pictures too. Love the cat.

Shirl sorry I did not send you the pics but they take soooooo long to load as they are BIG. Will see what I can do today.

Fiona

Fiona Report 2 Dec 2010 09:49

morning everyone.
Take care from me to Frank & Ros. get back alright
we keep getting little showers of snow, weather man says the wind is turning tomorrow coming from the west instead of the north hopefully will bring rain instead of snow, SIL still can't get to work, they live higher up than us, and have a big bank to get up out of the housing estate and people who have tried to get out are becoming stuck, wheels slipping all over the place.

keep warm everyone

Morning All,

Hope all goes well with the journey and appt today Frank. Poor Ros, it can't be much fun driving when she is in pain a lot either. Let's hope they can do something to help her.

That must make the programme even more interesting Fiona.....when you have actually been there. It has made me think I would like to go there to!! lol I am hoping to watch the programme about the georgians that is on tonight, about 9.00pm I think....the first week of a new series.

Will say cheerio now, off to see my friend in the 'wilds'. She says she will come and tow me if I get stuck!!!! BBL

Jane Report 2 Dec 2010 12:14

Let's hope Ann doesn't get herself stuck and has a lovely day.
The snow stopped but it was heavy for a while.The sun has been shining but is now looking more cloudy again,and it seems like the wind may be picking up a bit.
I was watching a little girl being pulled along on her sledge earlier.It made me think I only ever seem to see plastic ones these days.I wonder if Dads still make wooden ones for their children anymore.
