So, taken from the upstairs front window, the tyre tracks in the snow...
On Sunday morning we woke to find one of the pipes that feeds the shower had frozen. Luckily it hadn't frozen enough to cause a burst and it was pretty easily thawed with my hairdryer. Mr yrh has put extra lagging around it, so hopefully it won't freeze again. Sunday was COLD and I successfully managed not to leave the house all day. Mr yrh gets cabin fever if he stays in all day, so after breakfast, while the children and I went back to bed with a pile of story books, he went on a bike ride and came back with a water bottle full of ice. Rather him than me!
In the afternoon I made cranberry jam ready for the delight that is Nigella's Cranberry Bakewell Tart, the recipe for which is in 'Feast' (and on the internet here, but all in American terms)...
I also managed to fit in more snuggling with the children - under a blanket on the sofa this time to watch Ice Age 2 and later on I crocheted another couple of snowflakes. I'll show you those once I've blocked them.
More Tuesday through the window here.
Ooooh sounds like my kind of weekend! Mr H gets mega cabin fever, and on sunday we braved the sheer cold for a walk in the woods. I would have been quite happy to stay snuggled up under a blanket in the warm, and during the walk I wondered why I had succumbed to the pressure!!!!!! It was mega cold!
ReplyDeleteA bit of snow here today, kids all hyped up. I like it better in the warmth! Can't wait to see some more snowflakes!
Have a lovely evening!

Sounds like a great day to me. As far as staying in on a cold day. I've been some of that here also. :)

The jam sounds wonderful. I'm with you though, I'd rather be snuggling home then out in the cold.
ReplyDeleteHi Victoria
ReplyDeleteWe are in the thick of it with snow on the south coast and I'm with you when it comes to staying indoors all snuggled up with hot choc, books, hooks and cuddles xox
