More snow!! We woke up on Thursday fully intending to go into work, as Fidget's eye was much better, but overnight we received the heaviest fall yet.

So it was tag team working again,

Fidget and I had fun in our first shift of the day, playing in the front room.

In M's morning shift he took Fidget across to the park, he fashioned a sledge from this (very hard to describe) plastic bucket thing Fidget has, but it was rather unstable so she fell in the snow a couple of times which did not help with the snow-bonding process.

As we went to bed last night, the snow was still falling, and so it was even deeper this morning. M and I had swapped working days, so he is working from home.

I realised we had very little in for breakfast, so after trying to enjoy an out of date ryvita with honey (quickly resorted to just licking the honey off it) I decided that Fidget and I needed to undertake an expedition to the shops. I didn't think the pushchair would be up to it, so with M's help fashioned a sledge from a plastic box, a length of electrical cable and a cushion.

Fidget and I got dressed up warm

and set out.

Fidget was quick to recall that she wasn't fond of the cold white stuff, particularly when she tipped over and landed in it (I did realise eventually).

We made it all the way to the shops (with only 2 more Fidget spills), got the groceries. I then decided it would be easier to put the shopping in the box and carry Fidget, as shopping doesn't wriggle and fidget. It was pretty hardcore coming back with the snow blowing into our faces and I felt Fidget and I were heroic explorers returning with provisions for the family.

Fidget was pretty tired so went down for her afternoon nap rather speedily. I headed out into the back garden to get the snow off the roof and gutters of my greenhouse and take a few pictures...

The garden certainly looks very beautiful.
