I almost feel I've come full circle with this blog. It hasn't been a year yet but it's winter again. I am doing the same things I remember describing when this blog started - walking up the hill before work every morning to feed the ponies and meeting my robin, which is following me up and down the road. There is a new cat at the corner house and it is out most mornings, stalking the very place where I used to feed the robin so I'll have to feed it somewhere else. How far will it be prepared to travel for its food?
When I get to work and step out of the car, there's a robin waiting for me there! I always ask it if it's the same one. It wouldn't follow me for 32 miles by road, or overland which would be shorter, but I always wonder.
It hasn't snowed yet but on holiday in Upper Teesdale last week we got some sleet.
Hi,
ReplyDelete'THAT' by the way, was my chocolate log!!!!!
I only melted the chocolate becasuse I cheated and brought a swiss roll to do it with and it still went wrong!!!!!
Never mind, I'll leave it to geoff next year.
LOL
Lovely pictures and I actually love the snow, I look forward to it eevry year.
Thanks for your comment, will keep in touch.
Foody....that picture gave me the shivers! Is that you and your ponies or are photographing a friend from the warmth of your car???
ReplyDeleteOnly joking. I know you go out all weathers to look after your 'friends'.
Nearly a year, as you say....aren't we good?
Cheers.....Bernard
KD, It might be me, it might not be me. They might be my ponies, they might not be my ponies. It coud be me and someone else's ponies, it could be someone else and my ponies. So many combinations!
ReplyDeleteAnnette, well it must have been very tasty if all that was left was a brown streak.
ReplyDeleteI love the snow too, especially when it means avoidance of work.
Fabulous photo of the robin, I'd love to be able to take a pic as good as that!The photo with the ponies reminds me of when I had my own, I used to have to break the ice on the trough every morning with a mallet!
ReplyDeleteThe robin was facing me until I clicked the button. Rather annoying as it would have been so much better.
ReplyDeleteLuckily we have running streams which don't freeze but last winter I did have to smash the ice in the spring for days on end. The fun of having ponies outweighs all the effort, as I'm sure you'll agree.
