Snow Walks

 

Last week I shared some photos of the snow that I'd taken at home, in the garden and from our windows. You can check it out here.

Since the snow (thankfully) disappeared, it feels like a lifetime. Especially as while I type this it's 8am and 11°C! 

The photos in this post is a small compilation of more snow photos that were taken away from home in two different locations. The first set below are from my hometown, Berwick. Long story short the world went crazy before I was able to get registered at a doctors down where I currently live and so I had to drive up this day for an appointment. While there, I took the opportunity to go for a walk because there are way less people around and those who are out are more respectful than here. Here is some of the stunning wildlife and nature I was lucky enough to encounter along the way...

These last photos were taken as the sun had returned and was starting to melt the snow. The building in which Mr H works is on a business park that overlooks the river and this riverside walk is literally right across a road, less than 50 foot from his work to all of this! I just sit reading in the car to wait on him finishing and as it seemed a lot quieter than usual on this day we decided to have a flying 5/10-minute visit to the river before driving home. 
Not included in the photos, we also spotted a beautiful little stoat who was very easy to spot in contrast to the white ground...but far too fast for me to catch on camera!

And that was the last of the snow!

Until next time...

Snow at Home

It's always immediately apparent as soon as it snows anywhere in the UK because although it's not exactly rare here, people just can't seem to believe it, get all excited and post all over social media that it's snowing.
Meanwhile, we wake up at 6am, look outside and are gutted haha. We are not fans of snow in this house! It causes way more problems than any advantages...does it actually even have any advantages? Anyway, it makes the roads, paths and everywhere else more dangerous, when it melts it makes the garden gross and it brings all the teens out with their hands all over your car making snowballs. Not a fan. It's like pulling teeth to even get Baker to go out for the toilet.

That being said, I am a huge hypocrite, evidently, because I took a lot of photos of the white evil. Although I think it's more so because it was something different to photograph for a change, especially with not being able to go far these days.
Everything in this post was shot from my own home, in the gardens and from the windows. You'll see a lot of these photos are of birds, we love birds and it's part of my daily morning routine to go out defrost the birdbath and put out food for them all. Here they are. 
Until next time...

February TBR Lists

 

Oh look, it's almost two weeks into the month and I'm only just posting our TBR lists...that makes a change eh? Ha! 

It's not even a surprise at this point, especially when I could only manage to get two posts up in the whole of January. At least we are beating that this month so far! 
If you wonder what all our time is spent on you can check on my other two blogs - Underland to Wonderland and Adventures of the Hallows - and of course on top of that Mr H is always at work and I have a household with 10 animals to take care of...not as easy as it seems!
Anyway, this is about our February TBR lists, so here they are. 

Mr H TBR List
Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman [TBR Jar] - 435 pages
Infernal Devices by Philip Reeve - 435 pages

Page Total - 870 

Mrs H TBR List
The Ickabog by JK Rowling - 282 pages
The Ruby in the Smoke by Philip Pullman [TBR Jar] - 209 pages

Page Total - 491

Yep, only two each for this month. Considering the fact that I have more time to read than Mr H, he has actually completed 4 (nearly 5) good-sized books, whereas I've only just completed 4 including 2 audiobooks! Therefore I at least want to try and get myself caught up...if that's possible!
