Pretty blue bedroom

Yesterday my other half had painted the walls in our bedroom Blue and today with the sunshine pouring in the windows it looks very pretty.  It is a shaker style bedroom with a seaside feel about it. We have shutters at the window which give it that extra bit of style. I have a lovely patchwork quilted throw at the bottom of the bed which has come in very useful during our cold spell.

I am going to go and make a nice pot of vegetable soup now so that when Fred comes back from his bike ride. So that should warm him up.  We are not having traditional Sunday lunch today as we have well eaten too much the last few days so after the soup we will have a Salad.
Back to work tomorrow and hopeing we will be busy busy busy....

Cold Cold and more cold brrrrr

We are haveing a very cold spell, colder than it has ever been for 100 years!!

Out have come the hotwater bottles, bed socks aswell as all the scarves hats and gloves. The kids love it and Yasmin is out playing snowballs with Ross in the garden. 

I have been down the hill to have lunch with my sister and I used my walking stick to make sure I didn't fall over. We have both had bad colds which have left us with annoying coughs.  Unfortunatly she has coughed and put her back out which is now giving her more problems than the cough, she can hardly move poor thing.
The only thing I like about this kind of weather cosy nights in and making soup, rice pudding, mince pies and casseroles. Thing is we can't get to the gym at the moment so feeling a little stuffed and need more exercise..
