Snow drops.

Quite a surprise when we woke this morning to see a dusting of snow.
However as the sun was shining it didn't last long.
These alstroemeria don't seem any worse for wear, and as you can see the snow is melting fast.

A busy day in the kitchen making Christmas puddings.
They are now steaming away.
Also made a Lancashire hot pot which is cooking slowly in the oven.

So another cosy night in round the fire, with a glass of wine, or two, and watching Strictly.
