End of Week

 It snowed overnight. The roads were quite yucky early, so I decided not to go for a walk. All change from the weather yesterday and it was cold enough to freeze bubbles this morning. So that's what I did. Later, when the clouds cleared and the sun came out, the roads cleared a little, so I decided to drive to the nature park and take a walk as I didn't get out at all yesterday. It was lovely and snow covered, but under the snow was a horrible layer of clear ice. I had to really watch where I walked, and I didn't quite walk as far as I usually do. I did talk to a woman who was also walking with a camera. She asked if I was Sharon and I said I was as she had seen my photos on the Facebook page for the park. We chatted for a little while. It was nice to chat to somewhere else who enjoyed my photos. 

I didn't get a lot else done to be honest. There was a lot of communicating later on. I chatted with my daughter. Facebook messaged with my sister. We usually check in on Fridays with one another. I was hoping she was okay as she was under the red warning for the windstorm. She said that they were all doing okay. I hope everyone else is. On my Ipswich in the US Facebook group there were posts of people losing their fences and such. 

Sister said she had stayed in today. Her son-in-law was off work due to weather, so he was taking care of the children.  It is their half-term next week. Sister said that she and her husband, one daughter, his son and one of her other grandchildren were going to London early in the week. I hope the weather is good for them. 

Talking of wind, it's very windy here tonight. I can hear the wind howling around outside. So far - touch wood - our power has held and so have the trees in the garden. We're under another Winter Weather Advisory with snow and winds up to 50 mph. Lovely. Hope they clear before morning. 

I'm playing catch-up with my Phone Photos - Things That Make Me Smile. 

Yesterday was a little bit of a rough day. I didn't really feel like smiling a lot.

Red Leicester Mini Cheddars. I am addicted. I am rationing these out as they aren't easy to find over here. Currently I can't find any. Sigh. They do make me smile. They remind me of home.

I think I've already shared a frozen bubble. But this made me smile. Weather is all-change from yesterday. It was pretty close to 50F/10C and this morning everything was snow covered and it was cold enough to freeze bubbles! How crazy is that? It's Michigan weather lol. 

Hope everyone has a good weekend. I'm hoping we can get out but it - as usual - depends on the weather!

  1. My goodness! That frozen bubble looks like a moon! And how great is that to be recognized by the other walker! Hope you have a lovely weekend, Sharon.

  2. I adore those frozen bubble photo's. It's something I'd love to have a go at if it gets cold enough. Red Leicester mini cheddars sound divine. I'll look out for them as Red Leicester is my favourite 'every day' cheese.

    1. They are really fun to do. A little frustrating in the beginning, but addictive once you find out what works for you. The mini cheddars are absolutely delicious. My sister got some for me from the pound shop when I was in quarantine. I (unfortunately) pay a lot more than that for them lol, but they are a treat.

  3. That was a nice thing she recognized you and you talked! It's nice to enjoy doing something and to top it off, find someone who likes doing that too. Ice bubbles are so cool!

    1. It was nice to meet her. Frozen bubbles are addictive but you know how cold it is sometimes - that's not fun!

  4. I didn't know you could get Red Leicester mini cheddars ... that's very tempting!

    How lovely to be recognised for your photography by the lady in the park. I saw the request on Instagram to use one of your photos as well. Oh, and that frozen bubble is the best one I've seen 😊

    Glad to hear that your sister and family are fine after the storm.

    1. They are addictive. Thanks for the comment about the bubble. I was quite pleased.

      On Instagram I was excited that PureMichigan wants to use my photo. It is the tourism outlet for the state I live in.

    1. Aren't they addictive? I have to ration myself as they aren't easy to find over here.
