This last week passed very quickly for me. Even though we had heavy rains and cold weather. I was catching up on e mails, cooking hot soups, bringing in the wood to keep the wood burner going.
Until today, its been about 4o degrees..sometimes even lower. The village people were talking on saturday and saying.. we will be getting better weather. The shepherds and the farmers know when the weather will change.
Today it was 4 o early, and around 12 it should take us into the afternoon rising to about 14. So the met office said on the early morning news.
Then just like a click of the finger.. the light changed and Mr. Sun was peeping through the clouds.
With camera in hand.. I ventured out to take these early morning shots.
It lifts one's heart, when the sun shows his face. The grey clouds have gone , the birds are chirping and hopefully I can get my washing dry.
It was a very busy weekend. My grand niece , and two of my grandaughters spent the weekend with me. It was all a girly weekend. Wet and miserable ..I made warm food, bought some comfort choc and cookies.. and we cuddled up watching films. It was so great to have them. Boy, do they keep me on my toes. It was fun and giggles way into the late evening. They left yesterday to return to Lisbon .
Progress on Pete's yellow brick road.. The weather has been so bad, that he has had only a few days here and there to progress.. but its coming on, as you can see. If the weather holds out with some sun.. Pete will be working away for some hours this week. Its all excitement. I am planning to plant some new bushes around the area.. That will be when I return from the UK:Hope that you all had a wonderful weekend.
Wishing you a great last Monday of January 2013. yes, can you believe Jan, has come to an end and we are about to go into feb.
