I remember some doozy snowstorms in April. I doubt that will happen again, at least not here. Enjoy the cold white stuff, RH. Love a good snow.

@Roberta,
Good Evening Crew - how good it is to see y'all.

What a day!


Oh my goodness...

DjjD " you are positively blooming!!!!! Luverly! ROCK " you got more snow?? Good grief. When will it stop!

Well, oh so verra tired " but what a super duper day. We revisited one of my childhood places " it’s on the way back from the city and about 20 minutes from here " felt like I was 4 years old again. What an adventure on the moors!

http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk41/LzzieIzzie/DSC02212.jpg


It’s so huge - the reservoir " well, you know, not like lake MI or anything " but simply stunning there " massive, ma-hoooo-sive trees " hundreds of years old ... oh, just amazing. We climbed and clambered (had my rather sexy leg brace on and paying for it now, but man, it was worth it). Looky here " welcome to Burrator Reservoir!

In the winter when the water is high it pours over the top of the dam and down, down, down....

Absolutely spectacular place, Iz. Moss on trees. Great formations. Old and wondrous. Is that kid, by some chance, related to you?

And you are incorrigible. Schlepping around such a place in a leg brace. I wish you'd take better care of yourself. Might as well be talking to the moss.

Love the hearty sheep, btw.

@Roberta,
I reckon he just might be a? Very Happy

He's a happy little chap these days - unfortunately for him, he received the worst school report you could possibly imagine..... except for ICT, Gymnastics and a smiley face - funny 'ole thing - does take after his Mom!!!!!!! However, I wasn't gonna let a school report ruin the day for us - heh - gave him the brief talk of "you gotta knuckle down kiddo and quit mucking about in class, golden opportunity and all that" - but ya know - if he's happy, right now, that's my only real concern. A friend of mine said not so long ago to look at my kids face to know he was doing alright - they were right - S-boy is sunshine boy when he's smiling - and he does so much "caring" for me - he's way beyond his 11 years. He's a good kid.


yep Mis.... 'tis lovely there - I want you all to come here........
Izzie
