Hello - well I thought I'd just add this - sitting up in bed Saturday morning with a steaming cup of tea AND then..... "toot toot"  a steam train was coming through the cutting behind our house!  Fantastic !  and I took this photo after running downstairs  for the camera -it was a frosty morning so the steam was spectacular !   Lucky shot I think don't you?

Take care and Thank you for visiting xx

Hi there - well I have had a January full up with visits to the vet!   One daog and two cats have been - everyone okay for age then something wrong with three of them?  Poor Wolfie has been away to the small animal hospital in Liverpool for a few days but is scheduled to be home tomorrow I do hope so :)
Otherwise I have been doing the usual a lot of crochet and a lot of reading - in fact I have just finished "Cold Comfort Farm" by Stella Gibbons - very funny and very enjoyable.
What have you been reading?

Hello there - all fixed now methinks !
Now what on earth shall I write about?
Think will try a few photos to see if all okay Let's see what's on the table in the red room today....
Bye for now

I like winter. I like January. I know it's cold but it's fresh and invigorating. My collie Little Bess doesn't mind what the weather is doing as long as we have our walk and there is a stick or two. I saw a sttrange tree on the way home today - at first it looked grey and dead but as I got nearer the sun lit it up and it was an unusuaaly large silver birch and the bark was bright and silvery - quite magical and beautiful. I must go back with my little camera and get a photo to put on here. Some of the cold and frosty mornings turn into the most clear and sunny days it's not deep winter gloom at all. Hope you enjoy all that January can offer and don't wish any time away - we are always answered with Spring.
