Dreaming of a white Christmas ...

Woke this morning to find we are snowed in. Normally the first fall of snow  is welcomed for it offers lots of photographic opportunities.

But today it crashed all plans: Christmas shopping, lunch with a friend, M’s annual Christmas lunch with former colleagues etc.  All had to be cancelled.
 
Instead all we could do is sit and stare at the snow. (Yes, it looks very pretty.) Well, that’s not quite true. I rescued the bamboo trees bent double under the weight of the snow convinced they would snap under the weight of the snow but miraculously  they bounced back.
 M’s lunch is rescheduled for the New Year then we both headed for our computers to hit online Christmas shopping which this year is food orientated.
 
Suddenly with the spiralling cost of living coupled with postal strikes our priorities have changed. Food is top of the list. ”Stuff” can wait.
