The snow has seriously out-stayed it's welcome...

Don't get me wrong I absolutely LOOOOOVE the snow, but the motto of our college must be "The College that NEVER closes!" I've been freezing the past week because the heater's were stolen from Textiles for the exams in the hall and literally ALL I wear are dresses/skirts with leggings/tights! I don't own a single pair of jeans and when I really need a pair the shops only seem to stock rather unflattering ones or semi-decent pairs that are always too small!!

When it snowed on Wednesday I trudged to college wearing 10 pairs of socks and more wool than a field of sheep! But shock horror, they let us go home at 11! Sooo I trudged home avoiding the annoying boys in the year below throwing snow balls and went straight back out the door again to stupidly walk the dogs up the Cannock Chase! What my parents didn't tell me was that :- It was a 4 mile walk. - It was up hill, down hill and - There would be like 1/2 a foot of snow!! I managed to fall over and impressive 10 times! 3 of those were going up a hill holding onto my Mom and Dad! haha! Saw a load of gorge deers too but they were too quick for me to catch on camera, plus my batteries kept running out so I only managed to take these 3 pics!





I promise that next time I'll blog about something crafty! haha

Have you noticed? IT'S SNOWING!! ...

Well Britain looks like a Winter Wonderland and it's brilliant!!! Staffordshire doesn't seem to have it as much as other parts though :-( but there's more on the way, YEY! I haven't been able to re-live childhood memories because our College seemed to be the only place in the whole of England to stay open during the blizzard! Plus the blizzard was on a Wednesday which is the day I'm at College till 4 so by the time I'd made it home it was dark and I was scared of building a snowman in case I used the yellow snow! Then by Thursday the snow had turned to the rubbish icy/slushy stuff which I know more than anybody seen as on my walk to college I managed to fall over an astonishing 5 times!! It has taught me that Irregular Choice shoes may be very beautiful but snow shoes they are not, therefore I must buy some unsightly but practical footwear!! haha!

My white covered garden :-)

My beautiful Ruby! (My other dog Taz wouldn't pose for a pic)



I love how the snow makes everything look so pretty


Hope everyone else is enjoying the glorious weather!
