Month: February 2021

Rhys goes running every morning and sends me some amazing photos. I am sure he won’t mind me sharing one of this mornings.

Beautiful! Let’s hope that sun melts the rest of the snow. And here is another of Rhys’s.

We decided to go to Deal for a short walk with Ellie, to test her leg. At least there we park right next to the beach and green. It was freezing, the sea wind was bitter. Ellie loved it because it was so windy. Not many people were out walking they obviously had more sense than us!

A very poor game from Man U in the afternoon.

For dinner we  ordered a Valentine special 3 course dinner from Ambrette. Tris gave us a voucher way back and we left it waiting for them to open and of course they are still only doing take-aways.

They phoned us at 5 and asked if we would mind having it delivered a little earlier as they had 150 meals to get out. We told them no we didn’t mind at all but they said that they would give us a bottle of Prosseco for compensation! They are a very good restaurant. A red rose was delivered too. It really was a delicious meal.

We decided to walk Ellie a little further to see how her leg was. We walked to the Co-op and back and she seemed quite excited that she was going further.

Lou and Rhys delivered my car back. What service! I’m very grateful to them.

We watched Spurs play early evening. What an awful game by Spurs! They lost and deserved to.

It was still extremely cold and windy but no snow overnight. Ellie had her roll in the snow across the road first thing. Lou and Rhys were bringing my car back but the weather was really bad in Herne Bay. They started the journey and snow was blowing across the road causing an accident and so they turned back. There is no rush for my car, I’d rather not be driving in bad conditions.

It was better being cosy indoors so I watched ‘A Perfect Planet’.

We took Ellie to the field and then just into the cemetery. At least our pavements aren’t slippy any more after all the sanding yesterday even though we had more snow in the night. Of course Ellie has her morning roll in the snow, doing her snow angel. She loves it. Someone had even built and igloo in the cemetery!

A cleaning day!

The snow is still here and our road is now looking like a skating rink. We managed to just walk into the cemetery and clear some of the snow off Torin’s grave. All the bulbs along the front, which were all coming through, have now been covered in snow. Ellie enjoyed herself again rolling in the snow. Thankfully at the moment she is not allowed to walk any distance and is happy rolling.

Bob, our next door neighbour, started chipping away the ice from the pavements outside so Mal went out to join him. They managed to clear them and put a lot of sand down before the next snow arrived.

In the evening we watched Spurs being knocked out of the FA cup but it was a good game, just not a good result.

A walk just across the road to the field again. Ellie just loves the snow and rolls in it. I then have to pick the ice off her feathers when we are home!

Mal scraped more of the bannisters and I cleaned all the kitchen. Exciting! I also made some Irish Tea Bread and tomato and pepper soup. It’s too icy to think about walking anywhere round here.

We have a cafe in Sandwich called” Goats that dance”. The owner is so nice as we have a homeless guy in the town who obviously is freezing now at night. Goats owner has told him he can use the cafe to sleep in and so he can have  hot drinks too.  How very kind of him.

Hammers and Man U in the evening. Hammers were doing OK until Man u brought the big guns on! Hammers are out.

The good news is that my car passed the MOT not even any advisories! That car has been amazing and a real work horse.  I am certainly not a person who has to have the latest car, mine is more than fine. My thoughts exactly in this throw away society……..

I wish more people would.

The snow was still here and a few flurries still falling. We only took Ellie to the field opposite but she so loves the snow. She rolls and rolls in it and then starts trying to eat it. We just have to be careful that she doesn’t start chasing around and hurting her leg.

Mal scraped more of the bannisters, not sure how he scraped his arm, but didn’t notice until he saw blood on the stair carpet!! Lovely on a plain carpet!

I put more seed out for the birds and chipped the ice from their water. Poor things they look so cold. There are a lot visiting the garden.
