That is a 'really' wintery picture !

A lovely one i might add :-)))

Beautiful!

Ooooh... In the Deep Mid Winter :o)

lovely picture Alzh... ;o)))

Thanks folks...and when you looked down the road - it had a "Little Town of Bethlehem" look about it too......very Xmassy!!
No more real snow since - just the occasional flurry.....but -5C still this morning!

we have had a bit of sleety snow here but nothing wonderfull, pretty cold though Alzh... hope your keeping well x

Hi Sandra....As the old school reports used to say "Could do better" !!!!
Managing to get the old dogs out - and that's what matters! Otherwise hibernating until 2010....LOL

lol i dont blame you,,, its just awfull here in blackpool sleet and rain and hail, not even any decent snow grrr lol, anyway glad your doing ok ;o))

Great photo.

It's a beautiful scene Alz - hope you and dogs are snug and warm. What's happened to your avatar by the way?

Hi there Skillen...like a few others I took partial retirement!!!!
I just LOVE your one though....SO cute...who could resist..LOL
How's the snow on your side of Bonnie Scotland?? Fairly chilly over here but not so bad as a couple of nights ago....Brrrrr!

Thanks Alz - that's Felix, a bit bigger now though! Love him to bits. Snow quite deep here, temp about -5 deg but all in all not too bad - can still get to work :>((. Never mind I'm off from 24th till 4th. I do love the snow! Hope your not snowed in. Looking forward to you coming back 'full time' miss your patter and pics. I dinnae like the black square!!!! Have a lovely Christmas and a very happy New Year. x

Lovely picture Alz, Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy 2010

Merry Christmas to you both - Skillen and Yorkshire.....I do hope you have a lovely time and the weather eases up and everybody can each where ever they need to - safe and sound.
Yes Skillen - it IS time I reappeared....I don't like the blank square either....but was just making a statement!!!

Quite right Alz - but GREAT to see you and the twa dugs back. That's much better! :~))))))))))).

I just love that Felix - you couldn't have called him anything else could you!!!
He looks like he has just walked off the advert!!

:~))))))) x

Lovely picture looks so christmas and welcoming.

Hi Sixpence - It is still looking like that!! "snow on snow" as the Xmas Carol says lol
It is trying to thaw a wee bit today but no doubt it will ice over again overnight....as usual! Even gravel paths become lethal in these conditions...not so ha ha!!
Seasonal though and the great thing is ALL our gardens look ever so neat and tidy when there is a good covering of snow - don't they!!

They do at least we can not see the weeds lol

Just makes you want to explore down the path, Lovely picture Carol.

The lights are out tonight PP.....I've had a lazy day for once and haven't been encouraging visitors ....how's that for being a recluse!!!!
Tomorrow - normal service will be resumed...LOL

Well its just started to snow here again Carol, thought we had seen the last of it, looking pretty again but I am so longing to spread some bags of Manure a friend gave me, just want it to go away and the sun to warm up the soil. understand you wanting to have some time to yourself. its lovely to have friends and family but also nice to have your own space again!

I feel like it's normal service too.Hubby back in work things are settling down again.

Nothing normal about our services today unfortunately ...as The Big Freeze continues. We are relatively lucky down on the coast here. We have 150 schools in Aberdeenshire closed and roads were closing as fast as they were being ploughed....as you will have seen on the TV.
The novelty has long since worn off and by the sounds of things it will be about ten days before the temps start to rise and we can really start to get out and about.
The scene above has never gone away and indeed we have had a lot more since but the worst bit is the ice underfoot....and there are going to be a LOT of garden losses this winter - already I have found a few pots split open and the winter pansies giving up the unequal struggle!! Happy gardening, Folks!!
