Decided to have a little blitz today, as I've been a bit lazy of late, something that is not good when you have two dogs and a log burner.  Oh my, the hair and smuts, shameful!  I gave the Aga a good going over as well and felt really good when everything was nice and shiny.   I also downgraded the amount of twinkly lights that we have been using to create the hygge atmosphere. The evenings are getting lighter now and I feel it's time to embrace Spring.

Loving that I can buy daffodils from my local village shop for £1.00 a bunch. which means I can fill a vase very cheaply.

In contrast to impending Spring, the Beast from the East arrived in our neck of the woods with a cough and a splutter.  I love a bit of snow, in fact I adore it, just as long as it doesn't hang around too long.

We got in the car to take the dogs for their run with the sun shining, drove 50 yards and the snow came, small powdery flakes, the kind of snow we had in 2010. It lasted  for a couple of minutes,  then nothing.  Our walk was sunny but we could see snow falling in the distance, and on the journey back it had fallen heavily on some houses, and not at all on others.

We had a little worry on our return journey, after we noticed that water was running out onto the road from underneath the car.  Mr. thinks it's the heater matrix , whatever that is. It will be a pain to fix as he'll have to take the dashboard out.  One more job for him tomorrow, poor love.

View from the backdoor at around 5.00 pm.

Not quite enough to build a snowman or even a decent snowball and not likely to be there long.
