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. 
People will come from strange lands to hear me speak my words of wisdom. They will ask me the secret of life and I will tell them. Then maybe I'll finish off with a song. The Nomad
