Happy March everyone . Bit disastrous here . No snow as yet but everything seems to be shut down here already . Itā€™s SO cold and the boiler refuses to work . brrrr :snowflake:ļø :snowflake:ļø :snowflake:ļø :snowflake:ļø :snowflake:ļø :snowflake:ļø Typical . OH thinks pipes are frozen or the actual oil ! Anyway all I know is itā€™s cold . I did some washing which didnā€™t help as the pipes froze and it leaked everywhere , so thereā€™s a little ice rink outside the back door ! Was hoping to have a day of making ( also the computer on blink . The cursor keeps disappearing and the computer keeps freezing ā€¦ :slightly_smiling_face: - like us) Hope I can do something . Mind you with so many layers on I wonā€™t be able to move my arms :weary:
It could be worse!
Dydd Gwyl Dewi Hapus . Happy St Davidā€™s Day all . Hope to post lateršŸ¤ž

Oh dear that sounds like a catalogue of disasters Caroline @carolinefrodsham hope youā€™re managing to keep warm. Love that beautiful cosy scarf Roz @OrchardFelts made me instantly feel snuggly.
What lovely hats @Homegrownhats, Iā€™ve poped into your shop and loved a couple more, I love a good hat, even after months of having to wear one.
Welocome back Martin @MartinShackletonCeramics good to see your pots again.
Well the multi media experiment is abandoned and instead Iā€™m showing a couple of Easter hangings that I havenā€™t shown here before.

Itā€™s been snowing all morning, albeit lightly, but thatā€™s on top of what weā€™ve already got. Itā€™s windy too and hubby is currently trapped in at work as the have closed the road out due to snow drifts :scream:. I hope they can get some cleared for when he finishes later. Itā€™s his birthday today too.

Good to see you back @MartinShackletonCeramics
For us World Book Day surfaced in 1998, just after I retired and we became distributors for Dorling Kindersley Books. Since then itā€™s been great to see how big a part its had in the lives of our grandchildren.

My kitchen sink pipes are blockedā€¦I donā€™t think they are frozen but now I have to wait for the man to come and sort it out. Fortunately we can flush the toilet !!..I am claiming on my insurance for the work as we have paid for 20 years and never made a claimā€¦I just hope the man can get here in the bad weatherā€¦washing in the washing machine is full of water as it wouldnā€™t emptyā€¦luckily nothing urgently requiredā€¦and I am just glad we have heat and food etcā€¦hope you get fixed quicklyā€¦roll on Spring x

Not succeeding on creative front. Mostly mopping up and listening to abuse hurled at the boiler Apparently freezing pipes from washing machine have backed up and sent water into boiler. mmmmmm Not sure he should be tackling this ! i think boiler is very broken :frowning_face:
Hope everyone else having a better day !

Oh Caroline @carolinefrodsham I hope you get things sorted quickly. A friend of mine seems to be having similar problems.

Thanks Max @paperchainsandbeads for keeping us on track again this month.

Quite a bit of snow here. The main roads are ok but the smaller ones are freezing over under fresh snow. Iā€™m meant to be doing my regular shopping centre fairs on Saturday but not feeling very optimistic about getting there safely. A real shame as itā€™s an expensive one.

Staying at mumā€™s tonight again so re-listing

oh Caroline @carolinefrodsham - sounds like you are having a time of it.

Well, a lot can change in a day - we now have snow and my sister and I have just been on a mercy mission to rescue my nephew who got stuck in the snow driving back from work and had to abandon his car. He said he was going to walk home and he walked quite a bit of the way but we met him at the top of the hill with another car. Donā€™t think he was really dressed for the weather, poor lad was frozen by the time we got him! Think we still have the worst of it to come tomorrow.

Sue @BeadstormJewellery - surely the organisers should cancel the fair and refund your money in weather like this.
