Snow! Snow! Snow!

It's not very often that our country has falls of snow and when it can be really beautiful. Last week I began a photography course. I really need it I hear you all say. Anyway we walked to the local park and took some photos.




This is my back garden last night with the snow weighing heavily on the shrubs



A view from my front door. More like Christmas?




Looking at front of my house.


While the snow is lovely, I was caught in almost blizzard conditions this afternoon on my way home. However it has eased off since. It's a little scary driving in these conditions.

Don't think I'll make my knitting group this evening, I'm not sure I'd like to get caught out in the cold later, so I'll knit by the fire instead.!!

Okay, I might have been really envious of your snow, but thankfully we had our own last week, so I'm satisfied...and happy for this rare happening in Ireland!

Love the photos Ger, snow always makes everything look nice for a short while until it thaws.

Me and Ravelry etc

Intermittent blogging for me lately. I've had a very busy time for the last 2 months, and so have not had my mind on blogging. Have been doing some knitting, photos later, but only small projects which is only using tiny pieces from my stash. Thanks to Isobel and Diane who suggested 'flashing your stash' a while ago, I had to look the stash in the eye and feel guilt ridden for having so much and so little time to do anything with it. And then I won and got a cake of beautiful Rowan yarn to add to the stash!!!! My daughter had her debs at the beginning of September, DH graduated with his BA in Psychology, then my Mam took sick and so no knitting much Then on Thursday last, I got my invitation to Ravelry. Oh my God what am I going to do with this? Now fellow bloggers I've copied you all in setting up the blog in the first place and I've really enjoyed it, so I just had to apply also to join Ravelry. Hopefully this will be a smooth ride for me, cos I'm not great ...

My Mam

My Mam, Carmel, passed away on the morning of Nov 21st last after a short illness. She was gentle, kind, loving, caring and giving. We will miss her terribly. I don't think it has dawned on us yet. I will miss the long phone calls, the chats, the gossip, the visits. May she rest in peace.

POLICE

I was at the Police concert at Croke Park, Dublin last Saturday night. It was amazing and the band really were good. They played all their old numbers and even updated 'jazzed up' some of them, which I really enjoyed, though I've heard a few complaints that they did. However if you can't move with the times,nobody will listen. Guitar playing by Andy Summers was amazing, drumming by Stewart Copeland was great, but for me the guitar playing and the voice of Sting really does it. He looks great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! His looks, his figure (oh if I could look like that, female version of course) in skinny jeans. A night of pure rock enjoyment. You can see I'm besotted. ( however i would take a seat rather than stand in future)
