Its a Fieldfare and time for cake!


With all the snow a few visitors have been popping by to say hello!
After much research we discovered that this little fella/girl is a Fieldfare and quite a few have been visiting the gardens of Sussex, even the city!

Cold weather makes me want to cook, and cake it has to be.....



I saw this recipe for Apple Parkin in a back issue of Country Living, its so delicious and comforting. Not much left!



The sun was shinning on Sunday so it was important to enjoy! We are so lucky to live close to the coast and the countryside and to be able to take a brisk walk to both at the same time was so good for the heart.



The views are breathtaking here, I am sure you might recognise the cottages in the distance!



There are still relics from the war which the boys found fascinating. Quite surreal amongst this beautiful scenery.



The cliffs were shinning bright white in the glorious sun!



Quite a few people were out, beach combing, walking along the salt marshes....



I wondered what it must have looked like with all the snow we had, it still looks beautiful even when it has melted.



Having a good hearty walk (and a stop off at the tearoom!) has really blown the cobwebs away. It has given me that urge to get back to sewing......


So if you are feeling low, lost your creative spark..... go out, take a breather, have a look at nature, enjoy whats around you ......



It worked for me!
Now, who's for a slice of cake?!

We love the white stuff!

Just before Christmas we woke to this lovely scene...

Snow glorious snow!


The skies were like oil paintings from the past......


Everything coated ......


Jam Jam loving being a wild snow cat!


A trip to the park to have some fun......




The trees and shrubs looking like icing on a cake!


After being snowbound in a city we escaped to Glouscestershire for Christmas and returned to spend a glorious New Years Day out on the Downs with great friends.

The walk was breathtaking and the light was stunning.......



Can you see the glider above the hill!



Such a beautiful walk.......



Cold but out of this world!
Then we woke on Tuesday morning to yet MORE snow!
Can you guess what this picture below is?


An igloo!


We have SO much snow it took me back to the early 80's when my brothers and sisters and I built an Igloo because of so much snow!




Its so lovely to see the children out in the street playing snowball fights....




Once again we are snowbound, so quiet, no cars NO school!




Icicles!



BLUE BLUE skies!




Even the chimney's look beautiful!





I took so many photo's, I want it to last..........



...But my favourite is my son in his EdGloo!
