Walking in a winter wonderland.

Hi you lovely people out there in bloggy land,hope you are all keeping well and warm.I have just about got over my dreadful cold that I had only an annoying cough left that only starts when I am talking on the phone or when I'v been laid down for a while in bed,hubby says the answer to coughing while talking is not to talk so much,I wont tell you what I said to him !!!!  I went to slimming world on Tuesday for my first weigh in and I have lost 8and a half pound,I am chuffed with myself and up to now this week I have done what I am supposed to and not been led off the straight and narrow so here's to another good week.

 I thought I would put some of my photos here today along with the majority of bloggers out there.I was sat with my coffee this morning and looked out into the white world and just had to get myself wrapped up and out there.It is cold but I don't think its as cold as it has been and is going to be,but was that because of the amount of clothes I had on,2 pairs of socks,1 t shirt, 1 blouse, 2 jumpers,scarf,hat coat,1 pair of gloves and 1 pair of fingerless gloves (and a partridge in a pear tree LOL) I could hardly breath,I was so glad that I didn't get a hot sweat while out there I can tell you because you would of heard about it on the news,Woman in Yorkshire strips in the freezing cold,would of been the headlines,not a pretty sight!!   Any way here are my pics.

 

 

            This is the old school yard ,the school is now a coffee shop with a nice yard to sit in and watch the world go by.

            Looking over the village.
            Wonder who is keeping warm tucked up i here??

  

      Where ever you walk around here it is up hill.

          Always amazes me how such delicate little branches can hold so much heavy snow.

                       Do you like my gloves and mitts they are very warm.

             Icicles on the  cliffs around the river are very beautiful altho a couple of years ago when we had a bad winter there was a lot more than this year.

            We have put lots of food out daily for the birds,this morning I put out these sweet crisps that had not got eaten and the birds flew down for them you would have thought they had never fed before. They have waited in the trees for me each morning to go out with food for them bless them they are lovely I could watch them flying in and out the garden all day,sounds like a good idea to me but who would feed me???

Talking of food I had better get some thing sorted for the men's dinner,I know what I am having I made a large pot of soup for myself to last me a few days which has everything I am allowed to eat without disturbing my diet lots of veg and beans and tasty herbs and spices,with a big sign above the pot KEEP OFF JILL'S,other wise hubby would be dipping into it not that I mind but its mine and I don't often just cook for myself and only myself,and its not as if I wont cook something nice for them.
   Well I will be back later to look through your blogg's ,keep warm and if you have to travel stay safe.
  Love Jill xx

Feeling better.

           Thank you all for your lovely comments I am now feeling a lot better than I was.I still have a rotten cough and my voice is not quite back yet but I am tons better.I have even got those filthy windows washed today well I did the insides and son did the outsides for me bless him,he made quite a good job of them as well so think that can be his job now.I also gave my kitchen a good clean today took everything off the shelves and out of cupboards and cleaned them all, polished the wood, washed the floor,clean tablecloth on and cooked dinner at the same time,PHEW no wonder I feel tired tonight but it does all look nice.After been poorly and  not doing much for a few days you soon get tired doing things or is that me ?I hope I sleep better tonight now.
        Iv started back at slimming world and ready to start loosing the weight I have put on,it is not a diet SW its just changing your eating habits, cooking from scratch and for me not dipping into the biscuits and sweets,I would not have a weight problem if I didnt have a sweet tooth.I love cooking and trying new recipies so its not a problem to cook and hubby likes new meals as he calls them,so its head down no sweets and bic bics in the house if the boys come I can soon nip to the village shop with them for thier treats.I have done this before and know it is only me that stops me loosing weight so keep an eye out on here to see my progress.
   Im still having problems trying to post photos on here dont know what Im doing wrong I have tried all kinds of things,I know a lot of you have had the same problem if you have managed to do any tips for me please.
    Bye for now night night,love Jill xx

Chilling.

      Hi bloggy friends,I didn't sleep well last night coughed and spluttered like something demented!!! I drove into town earlier and got some more lemsips,a Vick's nasal spray, throat lozenges and more tissues nice soft ones for my poor nose.I decided to just chill for the afternoon and forget about the jobs in and out of the house after all nobody is going to notice if I dont do them are they.I have stocked up the fire with coal and logs so that is keeping us nice and warm and there is plenty to eat that wont take much cooking at t time so we are set for a few hours.Iv got my sewing out head phones in with Fleetwood Mac singing to me so Im quite content to chill.
  Hope you are all well,bye for now Love Jill xx
