Getting plastered...................

Getting plastered here.......   No, I'm not hitting the mulled wine (yet) - the plasterers are here, starting to plaster the extension. Oh, yes, the end is (sort of) nigh.... Having to wait in just now, as IKEA are supposed to be delivering the kitchen. I really want to get out there and take photos - snow here!   We had a light sprinkling yesterday -







Snowy patterns -





But, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do - so I braved the elements and hit the charity shops! Bargains don't find themselves!  Some good finds -



Love this ceramic lemon squeezer :) -


and this cup is huge! -


Some candlesticks -


and a plain jug -


So worth getting wet feet!!

*******************

And this fellow and his friends - 


are getting so bored (he looks bored, doesn't he?!) waiting for grand-daughter - 


(mind you if I was in somewhere warm and cosy, I wouldn't want to come out into this cold world!). Daughter to be induced on Thursday.....

Have a good week; keep safe in the snow!
