Beau Peep Notice Board

We have lost a lot of the snow from the roofs and decks but still a lot on the ground.

Tarqs - I do love crisps too and of course I got some.  The thing I craved for most was some little plants to pot together and was lucky to find a few mini spring plants (not many available), I assembled them into a kitchen table spring garden which has cheered me up all week. I also got a whole bunch of fresh fruit and veggies. 

Hubby did bring things home - mostly eggs and milk and once he got a bunch of bananas.

Talking about "The Great Escape" I dug my little dog Rowley out of a pickle after all the snow slid off the roof in one fell swoop and trapped him in a pocket of safety. Also I am listening to such an interesting audio book called Prisoners of the Castle by Ben MacIntyre who also wrote Rogue Heroes. Real men's stories but put together in a storytelling way with a great narrator.  It is one of those books that will stay with me. 

That is an interesting face on that snowman - it would be funny if looked like the neighbour over the street. 

I was actually at home for a whole 4 weeks because of the weather or road conditions but made up for it this week with three trips to town already. 

Yes, an incredible snowman, Zesty! This is a bit like the pyramids or Stonehenge---how did they get the technology to build it?

So in the north east of Scotland we have a fair amount of snow right now. And I know that I'll never compete with Diane with winter pictures, but one of my neighbours built this snowman. He must have used a crane to get the head on.

Knowing our usual temperatures, without some intervention it'll still be here in May.
