London Roads Pot Holder

Here is a Pot Holder I have done as part of a swap, I used a block called London Roads with a slight alteration the corner squares should be 1 half & 2 quarter triangles to make up the square I have changed it to 2 half triangles to make the square I have added a piece of Brown ribbon for a hanger on the back so it can be hanged up

It was our Wedding Anniversary on Thursday (12th) & it snowed that evening even on the day we got married we had a blizzard so nothing new there it was a quiet evening in & today being Valentine's day again not doing anything special but I did get some lovely Yellow Roses & a double CD of Buddy Holly who said Romance is dead, I guess as when we went on our honeymoon I packed a card for him & he didn't even know it was Valentine's day two days later so never got anything since then he never forgets lol well I hope that all who read this will be having or had a wonderful day with their Love One

Snow in Burton Latimer

We have had a good lot of snow we had snow on Sunday that disappeared with more Snow Monday in to Tuesday that was a fair amount then overnight we have had this lot they say we may get more.
Seems no buses are running around here being a village they have the small buses the big double Decker one that comes has to come down a road that the police have closed lorries have become stuck.
It funny but i remember when i was a kid it could be much worst than this & i my school never closed yet now they close & everything seems to come to a stop i guess the modern generation are as tough as we & my parents generations were also we got snow most winters now this is the first for a while they say it the worst for 20 years
