BBC weather forecast says it will snow 6am today. I don't like cold weather but somehow if it's with snow I love it. My idea of winter will be having lots of snow. Will there be enough snow for great snowball fights? I doubt :-)
To my disapointment it didn't snow at 6am. Perching on my bedroom window like a little kid anticipating, hoping it will snow. Well, well.....
At around 830am the snow came after all. I even phoned my friend "it's snowing". Bracing the almost freezing temperature, I ventured outside to take pics of the first snow this winter. The feelings just like the lyrics in "Sound of Music-these are a few of my favorite things -Snowflakes that stays on my nose and eyelashes". Alright, not too much snow but worth having after all:-).
Having enjoyed the little moment of whitish Sunday morning, I decided to bake blueberry muffins. What an enjoyment to sit in my conservatory and enjoying Sunday morning breakfast of blueberry muffins and English tea. Hmnnnn.................

We're listening to Christmas songs now. Just to get into the mood. Oh, how we miss the snow.
Those muffins definitely better than Tescos :-) Real classy.
Xmas - Bah humbug!
Fen, guess you guys missed the good ole time back in Canterbury :-). So do come and visit me :-). At least there's good and nice food to entice you.
Algernond,
Only better than Tesco, thought it was better than Waitrose. ;-)
Oh you love to be praised! OK. Not only better than Tesco, but the best ever...(that I've had anyway)
