And more snow...

well it looks very pretty, especially as the Christmas lights are still up in Chester but it is now very deep and it has taken me an hour to drive a mile home. I have never been so nervous driving. I have prayed so much this Christmas to keep us all safe. I'm so thankful to be home safe and sound.

Snow!!!!

At LAST!! Chester has the white stuff! . WOOOoooo!

01-01-10

First walk of the new year and the new decade! It was sunny, crisp and a bit nippy but lovely. I nearly needed sunglasses it was so bright. An excellent start to a happy and healthy twenty10 (roll on the twenty20 though. . . BRRR!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEEEEEE!

I'm trying to grow old gracefully...(though my right hip and my left knee don't seem to realise this) so I bought this dress with some birthday money from some of my favourite people... I had to do a little demo on the living room catwalk whilst I could still see some carpet...

..because there were more presents to come... summer jimjams from the smithybears (it's minus 5 in Chester as I'm typing this so I'll stick with the wincyette for a while longer!)



lovely smellies,



and an "amazing" Pot-by-Drake.



Then it was off to see AVATAR in 3D. Brilliant film.
And a bit more brilliant in 3D.



I don't usually have birthday cake!!! WUTWOOOOOOOO



I don't usually have toffee vodka either!




Heck, that was a nice surprise. Wotabonus. YUM. Serving suggestion was poured over apple juice. Why dilute prithee??? I had it on the rock! A bit like Tia Maria?

Then it was outside with all manner of things to bring over the threshold for the New Year.

We brought in health, medicine, fun and UNO, food, warmth, intellect, riches(??!)lemsip....and Sammie the dog.




...a lovely evening.

Happy, healthy and FIT New Year to all.

Bank holiday!

While my red blooded twins gave blood at the racecourse, my mate and Sammie and I walked the course. We managed 3 circuits at exactly one mile all the way round. It felt good to be moving again, very refreshing

Coventry Christmas 2

Suitably full and with red blood cells replenished and ready for blood donating tomorrow, we headed back to GG's house for an hour of fun fun fun, Dad's poinsetta came very close to a sudden death but survived the ordeal with a broken arm... wotahoot!





The Pixen's turn with the UFO... great control!

The Coventry Christmas!

We made sure we had space for another roast dinner and headed to Coventry in 2 cars, (Cub, Sooze and I were chauffered by the Pixen whoop whoop) and we all met up at The Old Lion. There were 17 of us altogether. Here are a few photos of the family....

starting with some handsome boys...




Various couples...(various relationships between them!)









Various groups...








... a quick game of snooker before we left







(followed by darts... FAR too dangerous to photograph!)

... and a big hug for Liz for looking after us. A BRILLIANT CHRISTMAS.
