Away again, Hooray!!!

Leaving all this crap weather behind and off to Portugal tomorrow for the week,so much for getting on with my potting! I will make up for it when I ge back. Back on the 30th Jan .

Potting at last...

Oil filled radiator,halogen heater and fan heater all on at once and temperature went from 4 to 11 degrees C and stayed there....lots of windows and no insulation anywhere! roll on Spring. Beth joined me and we did manage to get the clay out and start but we also had alot of catching up to do as we had'nt seen each other over Christmas or new year. We then had to go warm up over a scrummy bowl of french onion soup with cheesy crouton topping, was yummy too, thanks Beth! All in a days potting of course, had to pop back later and line a large bowl with white slip. .......I'm glad I'm potting again.!

Snettisham RSPB site.

Found a few Pink  Footed geese on the path, had a very long chilly walk to the reserve hides, needed it too to walk off our huge Big Boys fried breakfast.

Brancaster...Sailing Weekend !!!!

Boat or no boat.....we chose the latter due to road conditions and a few other considerations, there were enough boats going over to share so we were'nt letting anyone down. 17  of us in total arrived at Burnham Deepdale bunkhouse, still extremely cold but did'nt seem to put anyone off getting up at 5.30am to catch the early tide. ( apart from me that is I was indeed the odd one or should I say sensible one out ! ) I managed a few trips to the pub found  a few lovely galleries and had a great romp around m favourite county. Norfolk was my home for a few years in a previous life .    We all had a fantastic weekend with some lovely people, ate and drank far too much and are going to repeat the exercise at the end of Feb but this time at Harwich and with our boat....hopefully!

Picking Up Wayfarer Day----Or not!

Supposed to be picking up the boat today but the slush and rain froze overnight  and now it's snowing again on top, pretty lethal out there now. We were planning on taking the boat to Brancaster for a long weekend sailing off the coast, we do it at the same time every year but the weather is never usually a problem....Have to decide tomorrow or friday on whether it will be possible to go or not.

My poor little workshop!

Was going to stay and clear th decks for the new years work but when I looked at the thermometer I changed my mind and went to the gym instead and left the sign up in my window.....!

Snow to slush

Braved it to the studio today via Southwell as the back roads are still treacherous going into halam , took this pic a couple of days ago.
