Devon went for a walk yesterday and experienced his first snow! Well, when I say experienced, he participated. He seemed to enjoy it and responded by sleeping. What more can you do when you’re only 6 days old!
Jackson, couldn’t believe his eyes and was amazed that his new favourite story book ‘Charlie and Lola: Snow is My Favourite and My Best’ had actually come true.
The ‘Baby It’s Cold Outside’ Photo Mission is over and it’s time to choose the winner. The quality of photos this time was AMAZING. I was truly wowed by some of the photos. You guys are good! But after some deliberation I chose the photo above, of some snow covered Kale, as the winner. It’s by Lisa over at Pot & Box who walks away with 10 (not 9 but 10) boxes of the brand new Figo frame system. Provided by our friends at Bau Outdoors. Well done Lisa!
The other entries were just as lovely though. Like this beautiful photo of snow settled on a tree by Emma Bartram. Sublime.
A close contender for the prize was this gorgeous photo of a frozen seed head by Liz Early. Precious.
Stephanie from Narrative Self has been busy with the two photos above. The first one is a photo of her overwintering Onions covered in snow and the second is of her shivering Leeks. Both lovely photos.
And of course Toby Bunting’s entry made me laugh as I did specify a photo of some ‘frozen veg’. Ha ha, very funny Toby, but ‘no soup for you!’ as my husband would say.
Well done to all. And watch out for February’s Photo Mission with another, very cool prize.
So I’m all like…
In my opinion there’s nothing better than snuggling up with a seed catalogue when it’s snowing outside! Okay there is one thing better, snuggling up with a seed catalogue and a glass of wine. But it’s only 2pm after all! What’s your favourite thing to do when the ground is too frozen to dig? And… what’s your favourite seed catalogue? Mine is Marshalls – they do do a nice layout.
We’ve had some snow at mtp (hooray!). Not a whole lot but enough to get me worried about my Broccoli. So last night I threw a fleece over them. This morning it was like waking up to the three spirits out of A Christmas Carol. A bit spooky!
Underneath their blanket though they’re bearing it well. A little droopy but nothing some winter sun won’t fix. Come on Broccoli!
