birthday snow!
Good grief, it looks set in now,
we potentially have this until after the weekend : ( Sorry but snow is not for me, not when everything comes to a halt which it does in this country.
This morning I had to walk to the nearest village, about 2 miles away, which would be better if it wasn’t so up and down, but I had to go and get cat food, so the trip back was less fun!
But now back in the warm and dry, and it is indeed my birthday, now I mentioned a giveaway, and that what is happening! Now I have not taken photos, sorry, but the giveaway will include one of my linen bags, a corsage, some buttons and maybe a bit of choccie!!!
So all you have to do is leave a comment on this post to be in with a chance! It will close tomorrow at midnight! So make sure you place a comment by midnight GMT 7th January.
And if it is snowing where you are, I hope you are in the warm and dry too!
ps here is the snowman the men of the house have made : )

I had to trek out this morning for cat food too. You’d think they’d be capable of fending for themselves really! Enjoy being tucked up at home now x

Happy Birthday! Sorry your not enjoying the snow, but I know what you mean.

Hope you have a lovely birthday now the chores are done. I’m a firm believer that snow is best viewed through a window from a warm room.
January 6th, 2010 at 3:58 pm
Happy Birthday! I love your stuff – especially the corsages! Will RT your message for you.

Happy Birthday
The snow is beautiful but I can so understand not wanting to walk in it……………..Enjoy your day
January 6th, 2010 at 4:03 pm
Happy birthday! You should feel really pleased with yourself for having all that exercise when I’m sure you would rather be in the warm. Enjoy the rest of today.
January 6th, 2010 at 4:05 pm
The snowman is fantastic!!! Well done all the men!
January 6th, 2010 at 4:05 pm

Happy Birthday Alice!
It never snows on my birthday! (Well, it is in August!)
January 6th, 2010 at 4:14 pm
Happy Birthday! Great snowman… I hope you are all stocked up now and can settle in front of the fire with a book (or some other birthday type treat).

Happy Birthday! I’m in Sussex and my garden looks like your, with snowman as well! Can’t believe the weather these last couple of weeks and looks like a few more days of it yet! Stay warm and keep those kitties fed!
January 6th, 2010 at 4:22 pm
Happy Birthday to you!
Up here in my part of Scotland, tomorrow will be three weeks since the snow came and in the central belt THAT is about ten times more days than usual. The novelty of snowmen and sledges wore off after the first week as it’s sooo cold.
Enjoy your special day in the warm and I hope your cat(s) give you extra snuggle cuddles for you effort in keeping them fed!

Happy Birthday, I agree with you that I do not like the snow either when everything comes to a halt! It seem to be different to the snow of our childhood which we enjoyed!

Happy Birthday! I do have to confess to loving the snow though…..!
January 6th, 2010 at 8:44 pm
Happy Birthday, hope you had a lovely time. And the snowman looks fab. x
January 6th, 2010 at 10:12 pm
Happy Birthday! You’ve had way more snow than us. We couldn’t even cobble together a snowman! Suits me though, I’m not a huge fan of snow either
January 6th, 2010 at 10:48 pm
Happy Birthday Alice. You know, it often snows on my b’day too (but that’s in february). I hope you had a nice day nonetheless.
I would walk 2 miles in the snow to buy cat food too – my babies are worth a walk. Mind you, I wore my wellies today in the snow and my feet were freezing. I need to buy some wellie socks!

Happy Birthday!
Yeay for you for putting your cats first! Hope you stay cosy and warm through the ‘big freeze’!

Happy Birthday – if you were here (Australia), your birthday would be in the summer heat.
Mine is in Winter – but June, it always rains on my birthday, but it does not snow here in Melbourne! I don’t think I would like the practicalities of snow much, but I really hate very hot windy days, and worrying about Bush fires, so I guess each climate has it’s drawbacks.
Thank you for the opportunity to enter you giveaway. I hope you have a lovely Birthday evening, nice and cozy. Warm thoughts from the antipodes……..

Happy Birthday. It is snowing in freezing Kent today too and the M20 is closed. I love the snow as long as I am warm. I’ve been giving my chickens hot porridge breakfast these past few days just to warm them up. The downside is no post today and I am waiting for some yummy new fabric. Oh well…
January 7th, 2010 at 12:56 pm
belated birthday wishes to you. hope you got to enjoy a different day to the one you had planned!
the snowman is rather impressive…we could manage a head, no body

Happy snowy Birthday.
Amazing how the whole country is at a standstill. Portsmouth is covered!- so very unusual for us by the sea.
Keep warm and stay safe!

Happy Birthday for yesterday
People born in January are the best 
January 7th, 2010 at 7:02 pm
Birthday greetings!
I am de-lurking for the chance to win one of your lovely bags. Snowed in here and heavy fall forecast for overnight…you wouldn’t like it at all!
January 7th, 2010 at 8:06 pm
Happy (Belated) Birthday! I can’t believe how much snow you guys are getting! It must be hard when city services are not designed to accomodate these types of weather conditions. Be thankful snow melts
January 7th, 2010 at 8:18 pm
Happy Birthday – I want the snow to go too but I think we’re due some more. NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
I want ice free pavements and nice safe driving conditions. But it does look pretty.
January 7th, 2010 at 10:41 pm
Hope you had a great (and warm) bithday evening.
