What a difference a day makes.....& waiting patiently for my matchboxes to arrive

Just spent a lovely weekend in Bath

..just hubby and I
No Snow!
....just Sunny days, but soooooo cold Brrrr!

..and Lots of Christmas shopping!!

I preferred the Bath Christmas Market by night

..such a lovely atmosphere

...even if it was below freezing!!

-oOo-

Then when we came home to Essex and we woke up to this!!


Lots of the white stuff!!

...and everything has come to a standstill!

Everything is closed!

Boys are off school, college and Uni!!

So, preparing for more wet clothes and floors today!!

On the upside, Barney is enjoying his first experience of Snow!

(Please excuse the silly hat!! LOL)

Me, I prefer to be indoors, all wrapped up - warm & toasty!!

...and I'm sure Barney is enjoying that too!

He is eight months old now, and still chewing/eating everything in reach!!

Bless him!

-oOo-

Now, if you are passing by my blog today, via A swap for all Seasons, hoping to see my Countdown to Christmas matchboxes.

I'm afraid they haven't arrived here in my part of the UK yet :(

...as soon as they do, I'll blog about them!

..but I'm enjoying blog-hopping around all the other participants to see all the fantastic altered Christmas matchboxes!

Hoping my Postie can get through the Snow today, to deliver mine!!

Thanks for Looking!

Your weekend sounds lovely - especially the Christmas market bit! We woke up to more snow this morning too - I even put on the wellies and trudged through it - it was quite lovely as it's not at the slippy stage yet!

I really hope your matchboxes turn up very soon Jan and I look forward to seeing them here xx

Looks sooooo cold! Barney is adorable, and I'm sure he was much happier inside! The matchboxes are very cute, indeed!

I'm waiting for my matchboxes to arrive too (from the 12 Days of Christmas swap). And thank you for posting my giveaway on your sidebar. You have been entered three times. Good luck!

Bath is beautiful isn't it..... we visited last year and loved it.

Hope your matchboxes arrive safely....

Bath sounds fabulous and the Christmas market looks wonderful by night, wish I was there. It's the first snow experience for Mitzi too and she loved it. She is 10 months old and still chewing everything in sight LOL. Can't wait to see the match boxes. Tracy Evans x x

Sweet sweet Barney in his little coat! We've got tons of snow and we're pretty much snowed in! It's fun for a day or 2 but I'm hoping it doesn't last long.

I hope your matchboxes arrive soon. Talking of matchboxes, the 12 Days of Christmas swap you took part in, I LOVE the 'frosting' inside your box - what is it?

I`m glad you had fun on your trip, Jan.
Here in Germany there are many many Christmas markets. What a wonderful atmosphere there.
