Spring is here at last

Its hard to believe that just a couple of weeks ago this little bunch were under the snow, when it melted they were completely flattened and look dead, a burst of sun soon bought them back to life, Spring has finally arrived

Phoebe's 4th Birthday




Phoebe's 4th Birthday pictures, and as usual she was in the Pink - "Pink makes the boys wink" she said, and when asked what do girls like most "diamonds and Money " was her cute reply, I think Jean had a hand in teaching her that! - the cake did not last too long and she managed to blow out the candles (one at a time) whilst Merlin played Tug of war with Phil over one of Ethan's Toys - the Toy came off worse.

Foxes

These two Foxes are basking in the sun at the bottom of the garden, he would nibble her ears and lick all around her mouth, she loved it and just kept her eyes shut, we think they live under Mary's shed and are often seen in the garden. The Male is at the back and both seemed to have a sore back left foot, no doubt little cubs will follow soon.

The Snow nearer home

Our Garden

Nearly Frozen
Through the Woods

Monday 2 February 2009

And in the morning it looked like this

Snowmen found loitering in Hyde Park, there were several of them, I tried to strike up a conversation but they did'nt respond, they seemed a bit cold really!
A London Telephone box
The Garden I don't know how to use a broom so I let Sue do it for me


We awoke to up to 24cm of snow in parts; I'd say that the snow on top of the Wheelie bin was more than that, it looked lovely and was very powdery, perfect for skiing. And as you can see Sue is dressed for the part. There was very little traffic on the roads, No buses in London and no trains from Petts Wood, Hope it's warmer when we come out to see you.
