The North wind doth blow...

...and we shall have snow

What will Doxie do then, excited thing?
N will collect her in the truck and take her to take pictures of donkeys in the snow,
Lucky thing! :)

The other night N suggested we get together today to go out and take pics, which we did. 8 of us met locally and had a lovely COLD but festive walk in the woods. Sadly Mr D couldn't go but I did leave him eating his favourite meal of chilli so hopefully he wasn't too disappointed...we all missed him but hopefully he will get to go next time :) One of the 8 was an adorable little 2 year old... his giggles at us throwing leaves in the air was nothing short of infectious, awww!

With the prospect of snow it seems daft not to plan going out and making the most of it photographically. Doxie though, is not keen on driving in the snow even though she had a few lessons in the white stuff with her instructor...so N offered to come here and pick DS and I up. He knows where some tame donkeys are likely to be next week that we could take pics of, or failing that we will head for the New Forest.

I am so excited, what a lovely Christmassy picture Donkeys in the snow would make!

Hope you are all warm and snuggly wherever you are.

What a difference a week makes!

Last Friday I was down the beach with DS and my friend J in tee-shirts and today it was so cold when we went for a walk J offered me his gloves to wear and my hands were still a bit cold even with them on!

He came up on his motorbike. I fell about in fits when I saw him...I'd never seen him in all his bike gear before... he looked like Buzz Lightyear!!! After he warmed up with a cuppa we bundled into the Doxiemobile and I drove us all to the woods. It was beautiful, I thought the leaves would have gone but they hadn't...the oaks in particular were hanging onto their leaves and were the most stunning colour.

I found a hill to run down through all the leaves, it was really steep and I couldn't stop once I started! It was such fun I went back up to the top and did it 3 times lol! We didn't notice the time going and got back to the Doxiemobile just before dark! We texted N just before we left to come home and he came over to Chez Doxie straight from work where he joined us for dinner. I just love an impromptu gathering! Somehow things got a little out of hand and we ended up drawing on each other's faces LOL. Don't ask even I don't know!!!

It has been a really weird week for many reasons but one good thing is that this time last week I was 8st 11lbs, this morning I was 8st 6lbs!!!! I didn't mean to loose the weight that quickly, but now it is off I intend to keep it off!

Anyway I hope everyone is fine wherever they are.
