Mr Rigg is home from work, we’ve got the Christmas carol’s on, the Camembert is out of the fridge ready for tonight’s baked Camembert cheese fondue, and I am feeling tremendously Christmassy.
Our night before Christmas involves eating a lot of gooey cheese with chunks of sourdough bread and going to midnight mass at our favourite little village church in Dunham Massey. And we have snow.
Wishing everyone a very happy night before Christmas!

What do you think of Buddy’s new snow beard? Perhaps more a goatee. As you can see he is having great fun in the snow – he races around the garden, growling, trying to eat mouthfuls of it, and get you to play with him.
The downside is he comes back in sporting a snow beard. And then he’s made to sit still while I snap silly pictures of him – he doesn’t seem to be a dog who likes his photo taken.
But the upside of frosty beards and chilly paws…snuggling in towels in the warmth of the kitchen…all say awww…
My new camera makes the pretty things in my kitchen look much lovelier. Our kitchen is a bit shabby around the edges (it’s a work in progress) and before now any pictures of the eclectic collection that fill my shelves have looked a bit blah.
Now my pretty collection of vintage finds can shine bit. Here’s a short walk around my kitchen…
A small selection of jugs – I just love jugs…
Pretty metal jelly moulds, glass cake stands, and vintage crockery. Plus an adorable stoneware pot adorned with a picture of a cute cow…
And possibly my favourite find of all…a set of incredibly beautiful French Parfait jars and bottles, illustrated with geese in the snow and pale blue lids…
I don’t know if anyone else finds this interesting…but am happy to continue snapping my carboot and junk shop treasures…I have quite a few littered around the house. Does anyone else love collecting lovely old things? Let me know what you think.
We woke up to this…
We had about 5-6 inches in our part of Cheshire, and it’s still snowing. It’s a white winter wonderland and snow drifts like I can’t remember. It is wonderful.
Neither N or I have been able to leave the house for work today as the roads are thick with snow and ice. Those who dare go out in their cars are sliding all over the place, or getting stuck. We helped push one car out of snow this morning.
This morning we went for a walk around our local woodland. On the way we stopped and made a snow…bear!
Here is me with our snow bear…
Isn’t he cute…
Everything in the garden is sagging beneath the weight of the snow…
But the bunnies are having fun…
It is snowing here! How exciting – it never snows here, it only ever rains…and rains some more. So we are very excited to see big white flakes tumbling from the sky.
The bunnies have been out having fun in the snow – our littlest bunny and newest addition to our family seems to be getting along well with Lovage and so fingers-crossed will be staying…
She has a name too – Daisy.
Here is Lovage and Daisy having fun in the snow…
Borage, Lovage and Daisy had their first Christmas present (I didn’t know bunnies got presents at Christmas!) delivered today from the lovely Carole and Geoff at Fed & Watered. Carole and Geoff, along with a lady called Clare are our bunnies ‘furry godmothers’ – they come and look after the bunnies when we go away on holiday. They come highly recommended!

I won’t be able to post anything for about a week as I’m off to run a week-long residential conference for green space managers! Very exciting, done a lot of work leading up to this point, and this is what I love to do – organise events.
I am leaving N and the bunnies to fend for themselves – N left for work this morning with a sleepy reminder to make himself nice dinners while I was gone. The Co-op and its frozen pizzas are sometimes a temptation too many for a bloke home alone. Even still, I am tempted to leave him a list of all the lovely bits and pieces that are lying in the fridge and cupboards, and a reminder that pasta is so versatile.
Will be back in a week with a lovely recipe that I can’t wait to make, using the homemade marmalade that I don’t like on toast. This recipe, however, from one of my best friends, makes marmalade quite delicious – Maria’s Marmalade Gingerbread. Yum!
