Snow on the Moors

It’s another beautiful crisp, and very cold, morning as we get up for church today. Although there is no snow on the ground where we are, up on the Moors there has obviously been a nice little flurry in the night. The children are excited and want to go and see it after church, but we can see it’s already thinning in the sun, and as the last few sunny days have all come over dull and rainy it’s likely to do the same again, which will soon melt it.

It’s still lovely and bright after church so we take a chance anyway and take the scenic route home. We don’t have to travel very high into the Moors to see a nice layer of snow, and we stop briefly for the younger two to get out of the car and have a quick photo opportunity and stamp about in it. It’s surprising just how cold it is up here, and within a couple of minutes all three of us are more than ready to get back in in the car and be driven the ten minutes back home to thaw out.

Mike’s taken charge of dinner again today, and while he sets about cooking it I log onto the computer and check up on emails and the website. I’ve had another order in and some more vies on the blog and Facebook page, and with only a few minutes to go until dinner I continue yesterday’s task and add the Velcro option onto a couple more of the outfits.

Once dinner is eaten and cleared away I turn to the sewing I had hoped to complete yesterday. Having been out already today I’m feeling a lot more awake and ‘with it’, so I set up the sewing machine and get busy. After being so noisy yesterday the children are far quieter today- the younger two have disappeared to their room to play and the older ones have found something to catch up with on the telly. With Mike working on his computer at the end of the table, I sit and lose myself in my sewing for the rest of the afternoon- starting on, and easily completing, a couple of outfits ready for sewing poppers onto this evening.

The rest of early Sunday evening passes by with the usual busyness of the end of weekend tasks and this week’s Tesco order. Rather annoyingly I haven’t managed to find the time to publish a blog post today, which after trying hard and managing to catch up a bit earlier in the week, now means I’ll need to try and post two tomorrow and get back to where I was. Even so, when faced with the choice of either typing up another day of my blog, or sewing poppers onto outfits that will then be ready for posting tomorrow… No contest really.
