Someone in Bournemouth put on Facebook that they’d been to the bigger supermarkets and none of them had any milk due to the snow. His front bedroom window looked like it was a frosted window, but was in fact rain that had frozen to the window as it landed.Pat S Witneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805104841993312589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-62925190689471911022018-03-04T17:16:38.858+00:002018-03-04T17:16:38.858+00:00Hi Maria

Hope you don’t have to venture out.<br />I’m afraid we went to Yarnton again for lunch and we all had beef. I must say they do a very nice lunch.

I’m not into birds like Pete is, so might just look on google to see what it looks like.<br />Hope the snow goes off your car soon.

What an amazing display ... Hello Sandra and ladies,<br />What an amazing display you have today Sandra, each card so different and equally gorgeous. I have to admit I really enjoyed this challenge, It was helped by my magazine arriving last Monday morning, Instant inspiration you could say! The freebies are really good quality. Val I hope when you start to use yours agree with me.<br />Well we’are snow free here, yesterday when we got up we had a good 3 inches all across the garden, as the day drew on and the temperature increased it started to melt. Then about 6 o’clock we had rain so that washed the remaining snow away. I know the snow is still hanging on in some areas, giving great problems to communities, my heart goes out to people who are so cut off. <br /><br />Have a good day everyone. Janet am I to late to order a roast pork dinner? Please xx<br /><br />Love and Hugs for everyone.
