Snow White Or Narnia...

In all the chaos, that this White Stuff is causing all over the UK. I walked around our land on 19Th December with my camera, taking I have to say, hundreds and hundreds of photographs. It all looks so beautiful, especially our back field and woods, which reminded me of Narnia. I managed to get some fabulous close up Macro shots, but I'll share those with you later.
The only one in our household, who's been really enjoying themselves in the Snow is Merlin. He's been chasing around like a Puppy, having a complete and utter nut do, rolling in the white stuff , until he is covered and eating copious amounts of it. So much so, that I made him come in the other morning, as I was worried that he'd upset his stomach. Silly Bear...
I hope you enjoy looking at the photographs, if you click on them they will pop up bigger.
For those of you, that want to know what camera I have. It's a Fuji Finepix S 9500, I've also been using Harry's pocket size camera, which is a Samsung S1065.

You Shall Go To The Ball...

Ben had his Psychology Ball on Wednesday in Aberystwyth. Courtney travelled down, to go with him.
They had a lovely Evening and I think your all agree, they both looked fantastic and make a lovely couple.
Then on Thursday evening, we had a big snow fall. I was really worried, as Ben was driving home from University for Christmas on Friday. Especially having to drive on the coast road, knowing that he'd never driven in these sort of conditions before. Plus the roads in the student village hadn't been gritted, so we wasn't sure whether he'd even be able to get the car out.
Mick spoke to him on Friday morning, and advised him what to if they had any problems. I can tell you I couldn't settle, until they were here safe and sound. Courtney took the scenery photo's as they were driving home. If you click on them they will pop up bigger.
We had another snow fall last night, and we are not sure whether the Trains from Carmarthen will be running tomorrow, enabling Courtney to get home for Christmas. If not ,we could have another one, around the table on Christmas Day..

Great Gas & Bargain Balls..

Last night while watching the TV, I commented to Mick that I was feeling a bit cold. I felt the radiator and realised the heating had gone off. Now as we are rural our Gas is delivered by Tanker, to a Tank on our property. On the Tank is a little gadget that sends a signal to our supplier and lets them know the Gas is getting low. Its called a Think Tank. Well it had sent the signal, but we hadn't had a delivery due to the weather, and the Gas ran out. Which means for us, no gas to the burners on the cooker, no hot water and no central heating! Lucky for us we have Log burners for back up heating.
Mick rang our supplier at 8.30am this morning and advised them of the situation and I have to say what service! The Tanker was here by 10.30am filling the tank and by 11am I was having a lovely hot shower. To say it was a relief was an under statement as West Wales is supposed to be getting another load of the White stuff tomorrow.
The boys went back to school today, but the car park was like a skating rink. Not many of the Children have been able to make it in, again being rural lots of Farms are still snowed in and the lanes are impassable.
We had to brave it into Town today and I'm so glad we did. I went into one of our little shops and I spied on a bottom shelf a really decorative box, when I pulled it out, to my delight I found that it was filled with 14 Paper Mache baubles and I was even more delighted when I found another box behind it. All the Christmas stuff was reduced by half price so I brought both boxes for the price of one originally. So I came home to a nice warm House with my bargain balls..
Its my Birthday tomorrow and I'm going to holding another Birthday Give away, so make sure you stop by.. XXX

How To Make A Snow Angel

How to make a Snow Angel...

Take one Child who doesn't mind throwing them self backwards into the snow.
Get them to move their arms up and down in a manic fashion, as if they are trying to fly and move their legs from side to side.

Result one Snow Angel and one Son covered in Snow.. LOL

Thanks Harry xxx

Seeing Your Children Having Fun - Priceless

This is the last Video that the boys shot yesterday and I have to say I thought it was the funniest.
If you look closely you can see that Ben had dug a small trench. Now this was there to stop Harry dead in his tracks, but as you can see it had the opposite effect. Totally Priceless. LOL



I've also put a few photographs over on Hericus Blog of the Ponies in the Snow.

How To Take Out The Big Brother....

Dare Devil...

I've had such a giggle today watching Harry on a home made Snow Board, down in the bottom field. We had another couple of inches of snow last night.
Ben borrowed my camera and filmed Harry, while Mick and I stood in the yard watching. All you can hear is me laughing in the background. I was worried that he was going to come off and break something, but I just couldn't stop laughing at his antic's, he's a proper Dare Devil. Even our neighbour Michael in the Cottages came out to watch him and was having a laugh.
Ben took some brilliant video clips, which I will share as they get funnier as they go along.

The Big Freeze...

Another day of the BIG FREEZE...
The boys were supposed to go back to school yesterday, but all the Schools here are closed. I've just checked the School website and I think they will be closed for the rest of the week.
We've just watched the news and it looks like we are due another lot of Snow in the early hours tomorrow. Their now saying this could go on for another couple of weeks. One of the gritters from Ceredigion ended up on its side after sliding on the ice. Severe Weather Warnings are still in place here and the temperature's are set to drop to -10 tonight.
Mick had to pop into Town today to pick up our prescriptions and he said it was treacherous. I've been taking photographs through the windows and from the safety of the veranda, there's no way I'm going out just in case I fall over.
