Mme poivre Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Hi woke up to a lovely white landscape and a text from boss saying no school today .My boys are over the moon as dad/grandad brought them a sledge on Tuesday so we are off shortly to see how many hills we can conquer.What will/would you be doing if you are snowed in?

Keni Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 The kids up the street have cleared our drives and cars of snow and all us mums are going into our neighbour next door to have a sing-a-long on Mamma Mia with the kids later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederick Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Looking at the snow and kicking myself for a missed opportunity.....In December I bought a new Russian fur hat from a St Petersburge dealer for a fiver on Ebay ...I wish I had bought a hundred now ...I think I would have made enough to cover this years ferry crossing payments ...enough people want to borrow mine !

Mme poivre Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 Well as I haven't been able to get to work for a few days I thought I would take some photosThis one is first thing Thursday morning just as the sun was rising. It was really amazing to actually watch the sun rising like that.[IMG]http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd185/mmepoivre/Picture105.jpg[/IMG] The next one is the view from the back of our house.Thursday afternoon.[IMG]http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd185/mmepoivre/Picture113.jpg[/IMG]This one shows the playing field next to our house where thousands of pounds were raised two years ago to put in lots of new equipment including this 'Farnborough Castle'[IMG]http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd185/mmepoivre/Picture110.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mme poivre Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 hello OdileThank you I am sure Louis appreciates all the best wishes he recieves. I did want to say hello on the French talk thread but its taken me days to try to work out what to say.[:P] Mainly because although I can say and undertand a little french it is very different when you go to write it down, hence my use of babelfish. You cant be that far from me as I officially live in Warwickshire which is in the midlands[:)] Would love to have taken Louis for a long walk as he has sooooo much energy but poor love he isn't allowed more than a short hobble.Hi Ian and Frenchie yes he has been injected so it was not as bad as it could have been thank goodness but he needed antibiotics and some TLC. I hope you have a wonderful week end and feel better soon Frenchie you have been suffering for quite a while now. I do know that my two enforced days off have given me time to recharge my batteries and I am now eager to get on and full of energy, luckily only 5 more days of school then half term. Are you doing anything nice at half term? Well because of the rather large vets bill this month we will be staying at home.[:D]Judith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mint Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Oh, Frenchie, I am so sorry about this new worry you have. Then, of course, it adds to your already existing worries about G!It never rains but it pours, as the saying goes.I have just been able to come back on the forum. Didn't log on till latish last night and the forum was experiencing "technical difficulties"!I thought, oh well, we're all experiencing "technical difficulties" so that's OK then!Anway, all the Very Best to you all ..............fingers crossed, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
