C left for work... then moments later (well about 15mins!) rang and came back. The snow you are about to see fell in 1 minute flat - and fell on top of black ice, as last night for the first time since Christmas ERYC didn't come a gritting.
It does look exceedingly pretty though and covers a multitude of sins (like the grass for example... note to self get lawnmower serviced).
As pondered yesterday about the PrincessGarden's littlest patch the bush that was taking up so much space.
The decision was made and the shrub is now no more
And I think it makes a huge difference already. It was tougher to shift than I first expected, and after leaning back on it as if it was another chapter in the saga of The Giant Turnip, but alas I had to get some help from C which makes me feel ever the puny woman. Anyway jobs done bulbs are replanted. So it was time for something nice to celebrate and seeing as it was too early for a nice glass/bottle of rose I had a mugga hot chocolate.
While I was enjoying my chocolate, cream, marshmallows and sprinkles (mmm sprinkles!) I perused the inside of my neglected fridge and found some leeks on the way out so hey presto leek and potato soup is on the hob for dinner. Right now it smells divine - but then I have been on a diet of plain bread and pasta for a week!
Now I just need some fresh bread to eat with it, mmm the lure to get a breadmaker is rising within me once more.
