Good morning Belle and everyone :-) <3

Would that be the man who was miffed not to be awarded the Nobel prize for Peace? :-|

Lovely sunny morning, but I'm staying in.
Overnight frost, but no snow.
We plan on making a big slow-cooker pot of soup with left over root veg. bought cheaply before Christmas.
With cheaper electricity between 11am and 4 pm it will be a bargain and so warming :-D

Keep warm and safe everyone <3

Morning all :-) <3

Windy, bright, freezing cold and a layer of the white stuff here :-(

My son has just told me about that man. I'm sure he wants to take over the world. Him and a certain man in Russia need sorting out as soon as possible.

Please send some of that soup round here Gwyn :-D

Keep warm.

Morning Belle, Gwyn, Fly and Kath :-D <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Personally I think the world in general has gone mad since Covid. :-0 :-0

Freezing when I went out for a few veggies this morning, sunny but miserably cold :-P

Sparkles was very empty indeed, has everyone gone into hibernation? :-D

Yesterday I was convinced it was Monday, so still a bit confused over the days, I look forward to next week when hopefully things will be a bit more normal :-)

Keep warm <3 <3

Bright and sunny here but bitterly cold. Heavy frost first thing. :-0 :-0 ;-)

Gwyn soup sounds delicious <3

My soup maker decided to give up on Christmas Day when making Christmas soup. :-(

We’ve had a new one delivered so going to try that soon. :-)

Stay warm everyone <3

Well, we've had our first dusting of snow this morning! It didn't last long before it had melted!

I think we are all talking about a certain president who likes blowing his own trump-et ;-)

I can't find my usual avatar. I replaced it for my Christmas one and then realised it's not on my laptop to upload back! I've located my old one on google images but minus the "Cymraes Am Byth" (Welshwoman forever) logo. It'll have to do for now lol :-D

Hope you are all doing OK and have avoided the many virus's and bugs that are around. My sister and niece have had norovirus for at least 2 weeks now. They have been really ill and still not recovered.

Going up my tree now as I have found some more interesting stuff. I.E. a large proportion of one family being convicted for burglary!!!! I found it following down a recent DNA match. I hope it doesn't come as too much of a shock to them!!

Keep warm and well Everyone <3 <3

Sounds interesting Jem.
I haven't done any proper tree work for a while, but like you have had a recent DNA match.Haven't quite worked out the link yet.

Had a Christmas card in the post today :-0
I thought it strange that I hadn't heard from my friend in Philadelphia.
It is postmarked 5th December, so must have been on a very slow ship crossing the Atlantic :-S
