January - Snow, cake and frosty walks

 As usual Blogger doing its own thing and the following lot of photos have loaded in reverse order!


I used a lantern to light my way to the greenhouse one snowy evening.

We were lucky enough to get a Betty's Christmas cake as a gift in a hamper...delicious!
The decorations were taken down and packed away for another year.



Hyacinths from my sister in law, so pretty.
I had a lovely frosty walk one morning.







Leaving work one evening and it was still light!

We had a visitor in the garden, don't worry this was as close as Misty got, I think she was more scared of it than he was of her!
Our 'Christmas Do' in Manchester involved a few cocktails!



And a walk the next day with Hubby near Hebden Bridge and Heptonstall.







In school we have been taking part in Crafting Heritage and the children have done some fabulous workshops.

A walk on Norland Moor.







He came back!
I did my annual RSPB Birdwatch
Daisy helped!
One of the few bright winter days we had and a walk near Delph in Saddleworth.










Frost on the window and warm soup for lunch.



Daisy really needs to go on a diet! she is very over weight but so greedy!

Quiche I made!






A new camera, present off Hubby!

Printing the children at school did on another Crafting Heritage workshop.
We has snow at the beginning of January...




















We drove over to Stainforth for a walk




Up the lane from the village to Catrigg force then over the hills back down the steps through the woods to the village and lunch!




















January ticked off. It looks like we had a lovely crisp month but to be honest January and so far in February has been mainly grey.
