Snow!

[panik]

Only a dusting, no more than an inch of it but it's sunny and frosty-bright with a blue-pink sky, sugared trees and all rather gorgeous. We just got back from what should be the last shop (and there was much rejoicing!) - a few veggies, parsnips and Ted spuds for the roasties, sosmix for the sausage rolls, more cards, more port (since we drank what we bought last week) and the cheese! From my favourite Chorley cheesemonger



In other news - it's Christmas! Well, nearly. I've been trying to do pictures of my mantelpiece, they don't really do justice to its many Christmassy virtues but here goes anyway.Back now, warming up, crumpets and tea, the cat's arrived. I shall be venturing out again later to post the last cards, if the sun's still up I might do pictures.

Merry Fireplace says Merry Christmas!



Basement Cat is indifferent to your Christmas.





 I've tried it every which way but can't get anything to go under a cut, sorry about that. If the pictures are fannying with your LJ, let me know and I'll take em down.

Mmm - the bread and cheese looks lushy, and your mantelpiece is beautiful (and we have the exact same taste in cushions *g*).

Our snow was a short lived thing, but made me ridiculously happy - I was driving home in it last night singing my heart out. Good thing I was on my own. Now all we need is a nice blizzard around the 23rd... I wanna make snowmen and have snowball fights on Christmas Eve!

I *love* what you've done to your mantlepiece there -it looks very homey and festive.

And that is one helluva close up of Basement Cat..*g*

Your mantelpiece looks lovely, and Basement Cat and accompanying caption made me laugh.
