Winter wonderland

And the snow continues.

We were back at Thorpe Perrow on Sunday, looking a bit different to last time!

Autumn and winter all rolled into one!

Blackbirds making the most of the apples!

First snow!

What is it about snow? It's cold, wet, causes absolute chaos in Britain...but I LOVE it! I still get that excited feeling in my tummy when I wake up to a hushed white world all pure and beautiful!

There are still apples on the tree next door and yesterday the grass was cut, but today snow!

and a beautiful sunset to top it all off nicely!

and a nice hot mocha...

Time

I have been thinking about the perception of time recently. I have come to the conclusion that we all live to our own time scale. When I explained this to my dear hubby, he looked at me strangely and laughed. I pursued it further with him by saying that time was a man made invention anyway, to which he simply snorted.

He is a hare and I am a tortoise. He rarely stops and I struggle to get started! This is fine and as it should be, and mostly we rub along without too much of a problem.
The reason that this has been on mind recently, I believe, is because, ironically! of my ticking body clock. I am growing older, maturing, entering the next stage of my life as a woman. For the first time...ever....in my life I am thinking about what I want from my life. For most of my life I have drifted, gone with the flow and just ...been. Now it feels like I should have a plan....and yet I am struggling a bit with it all. I want to just be but I want a plan too. I want to listen to my body but I also want to take charge of it. All this amid my ever slowing perception of time. It is a challenge!

Halloween

There may be another post or two to come about the holiday to NYC.....but for now here is halloween.

Munchkin Pumpkins!

Billie Joe from Green day being a zombie, Lornas' pumpkin

Alice from Twilight Heathers pumpkin

Heather as DEATH and Josh as a Werewolf!!

Lorna making brain juice! (Pepsi, gummi bugs, sherbet...)

And yes it tasted as bad as it looked (even with a very large shot of vodka in it!!).
