Oh, woe! I’ve just read my last blog post and all the plans I wrote about have gone out of the window as a nasty cold virus flew in! It’s bitterly cold too. Britain has done it’s usual thing of falling apart at the seams as soon as there’s any snow or ice, Norfolk was particularly badly hit yesterday afternoon. I drove in in the morning with very little problem to get Tim to the heliport, it was sunny and beautiful with the blue sky and the fresh snow.
However, despite the optimistic Radio Four weatherman reassuring us first thing in the morning that it was all over and moving away, we had an hour or so of heavy snow in the afternoon and it caused huge problems. I’ve heard from several friends that it took up to five hours for their children to get home from school, some having to overnight with a school friend, and others taking 2 hours to travel just a mile on their way home from work on gridlocked roads.
I would be happy not to venture out at all today, but I need to pay my daily visit to my mum to make her lunch, wearing a mask and gown perhaps to protect her from the germs!
However, Higgins and I went out when the sun shone, and I do try hard to look on the bright side of life so I thought I would share our walk, doing my Pollyanna thing!
This was what came down at lunch time…
But when the sun came out again it was glorious…
The fields were best place to be as our little spot suffered from a rash of tractors driving sugar beet of the fields, the roads looked as if they were filled with mud slush puppy! Higgins knows he looks good in the snow doesn’t he?
…it didn’t take him long to get into puppy mode though…
It’s just as well we had a good walk yesterday because today we are both staying tucked up by the fire…
see you soon …x

Great pictures! It’s snowing here in Massachusetts, USA as well right now! Hopefully tomorrow when the sun comes out, it will look just as beautiful! 🙂
Stay warm Penny and hope you feel better soon.
Higgins is adorable playing in the snow 🙂
Hope you are soon feeling much better.
Lovely Higgins photos.
We have only had a small amount of snow but very cold and foggy today.

Doesn’t Higgins look cute in the snow! 🙂
Oh he certainly does look good but not just in the snow!!
Gratuitous pictures of Higgins having fun are always welcome, he looks so sweet.
I hope you get to the doctor about your virus, I had one and I was ill for almost three weeks, even with antibiotics. Do take care of yourself, Penny.
WHAT FUN! Love the picts of your pup in that awesome sweater! I miss snow, we don’t get any here in Los Angeles 🙁
Have fun snuggling by the fire!
I’ve got the wellies out ready for Friday – have you seen what’s about to hit the UK? No escape from snow and I’ve got to get to work. Dreading it I’d much rather be home being crafty !
Take care Penny- my recent ‘cold’ knocked me out for over
two weeks! Stay by that fireside and cuddle the lovely Higgins. A bit of snow here, but expecting more later in the week…sigh…
It’s beautiful, Penny – enjoy it, both of you. (I suppose Henry just sits inside and looks disdainfully at the messy white stuff outdoors.)
Hope you’re feeling better soon.
Lovely photos! Mr Higgins looks very smart in his red coat. I know how bleak Norfolk can be, so keep warm and get well soon, Jo x
