it's snow joke *groan*

After a chilly but sunny Friday who knew that by the end of the weekend the UK would be covered in a lovely white blanket.

Adam took Friday off to help his folks move house. Jill&Keith were all excited at their new start but I think Adam was a bit sad to say bye to the house he'd grown up for 28years. I know I'd be pretty tearful if ma&pa decided to up sticks & move.
After our mortgage meeting on Saturday morning Adam drove me over the new house to help move, unpack, clean & help babysit Brandon & Isabelle. As the day went on more & more people in the land of twitter were commenting on the snow that was starting to cover the UK but we'd still not seen any & thought we might escape.
After a fish&chip supper & as we went to sleep there were a few little flakes but not much. That was till we woke up! Wow! I love that moment when you lie in bed & you're pretty sure just from the kind of light that it's going to be snowy when you peep out.
The temporary pond for Keith's fish had such thick ice on the top that we're not sure how on earth they survived!
After breakfast Adam went out to clear the car ready to drive me to get my bus later in the day. It's a long time since I've seen snow this thick.
Missy sat on her new favourite spot & wondered what all the fuss was about & why the world outside looked so different.
Lisa, Nick, Brandon & Isabelle all popped round so we went outside to play in the perfect snow that hadn't been touched in the garden. I tried to teach Brandon how to make a snow angel but he was way too excited! I've never made one & if I hadn't have been getting ready to head back to London I'd have joined him in rolling around in the snow but I didn't fancy sitting on a coach cold & wet!
Isabelle hadn't seen snow before so she was pretty unsure what to make of it at the start but after Lisa showed her a lump of it she was more than happy to stand on the grass & explore it (from arms length). I think looking at that grin it won't be long till she's running around with Brandon playing in it too.
I'm dreading waking up to an ice rink from all the snow freezing so fingers crossed it doesn't go that far. Got a rather busy old week *groan* but hey it's only another 4 mornings then it's the weekend again! :P

T-minus 6months / 184days!

Image
Eeep! 6months today I'll be just about to walk down the aisle to see the man I'm going to marry! AAAAARRRRGGGHHH!I'm so ridiculously excited I'm not sure I can bottle it up! Valentines day marked 200 days till our wedding & mum made us a countdown using tape measures measuring 100cm each. The plan was to cut off a cm each day as the countdown but she'd included little charms all down them of bags, shoes, guitars, etc & we didn't want to ruin it so we're colouring it in with a Sharpie instead! She's the best! :) thanks mum! Last night after work Adam & I met up at Waterloo to head home & it was all going as planned till we stopped at one station for about 20mins cos of a backlog due to a part suspension. There was nothing we could do to get on another line so we sat & waited, the train eventually left but then sat at the next station (Swiss Cottage) for another 20min & they didn't know when they'd set off again. We knew th...

Happy 30th Adam!

Image
Wow what an eventful weekend! Friday was Adam's 30th so we both took the day off work to celebrate together. After sleeping in till 10am Adam finally woke me up asking when I was going to emerge & celebrate his birthday with him - Yoink! So much for the breakfast in bed I had planned. We started the day off as all birthdays should be celebrated - with a trip to Asda! After getting the boring chores out the way we headed to Winter Wonderland (via the Barber) for our annual wander around with a mulled wine in one hand & a Bratwurst in the other all polished off with a pretzel. We stopped off at the Carousel bar to watch the world go by (literally! The whole bar rotates really slowly) & have another mulled wine while putting the world to rights before heading off for dinner in Hammersmith. The first of many surprises for Adam were tickets to Steve Merchant's 'Hello Ladies' tour at the Apollo which was really good fun. We got there quite early so thought we...

#TowerPoppies

Image
Last September I was lucky enough to get the chance to take part in the "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" at the Tower of London.... Those of you who are regular readers will know I love helping out the Royal British Legion & this was a chance to be part of something awesome! "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" was to mark the centenary of the outbreak of WW1, in total there were 888,246 ceramic poppies (1 to represent every British / Colonial serviceman killed) & the last one was planted on Remembrance Day. If you want to find out more & see a video about the poppies being made click HERE . Early one Saturday morning I set off to the Tower of London & joined another 120 people for a 3hour shift. The aim was to plant 5000 poppies to keep on track for the 11th November but someone ended up opening an extra palette & we planted 6000 instead! Our team was lead by a Beefeater's daughter who actually lived in the Tower - such an in...
