So after all the rain we have had recently we woke up today to find it all frozen!! The first extremely cold night of Autumn so far but fortunately the fog which had been forecast did not appear!! Just once I would love it to snow from about the beginning of December and be snowy on Christmas Day. Usually it is raining or just grey and dank!!! I am very tempted one year to go somewhere where it will definitely be snowy for Christmas but I love being at home so it is a real Catch 22 situation.
I got the Christmas puddings steamed and have replaced their caps of grease proof paper and tin foil ready for Christmas Day.
DH and I are off to Scotland tomorrow and Thursday for business and so Friday will be home jobs day and I am then hoping to get the mince pies, cookies, cheesy stars and sausage rolls made, before we go to the Christmas Lights switch on in the village and dinner with our friends.
This is Jonathan Moseley who we are going to see tonight at the flower arranging event. He is based in Derbyshire and has done many floral demonstrations including at Chelsea Flower Show. I am hoping I will get some pictures.
Happy Tuesday everyone.
Hugs, Susie xx
Have fun with flowers tonight!! It will be like a breath of spring at the beginning of winter! I know what you mean about snow at Christmas…when I was a kid I seem to remember every Christmas having snow, but my memory may be faulty!! I love the sunny days here in Reno…home on the farm has much less sun because the jet stream dips down there so much that it just drags those clouds right over us. I don’t think I could live on the coast of Washington with all the gray days they have there. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a real thing…I NEED my sunshine!!! After living where we have sunshine over 300 days a year, it’s a necessary thing!!
You are making mom hungry for plum pudding, Miss Susie. She hasn’t made one in a few years. Have a great time in Scotland and at the flower arranging event!
