The snow here is unbelievable! Went out for a bit of shopping earlier today and as I turned into the country lane there was a road closed sign. There was however room for cars to get past so I thought I bet I can make it. Usually this road can be closed due to flooding and as I have a Freelander I have no problem. So I set off down the lane only to be met with a wall of snow that had driftes across the fields and was at least 6 feet high! So I had to do a 3 point turn and go the other way. Serves me right for being so cocky! I only went out for essentials today, a newspaper, some potatoes, 1 tomato ( I know, but I just wanted 1 large Vine tomato for my quiche tomorrow and if i'd bought more they would of been wasted), and a lemon. Actually I didn't intend to buy a lemon but we went for a coffee while we were out as I had a voucher for 2 free coffees at the local farm shop. Whilst there Hubby was drooling over the lemon meringue pie but at £2.65 for a slice I refused to buy it and promised to make one when I got home. So 1 organic lemon 35p, 2 eggs also organic from my friends chickens 10p each, sugar, flour, baking margarine and cornflour approx 80p and I have a lemon meringue for approx £1.35 with ablsolutely no additives. I also made some cakes incase we have visitors this weekend that seem to keep disappearing at an alarming rate! These were simple sponge cakes with icing and a mini egg on top. Well it is nearly Easter! Tonight we had chicken curry with the very last of the meat apart from some bacon that I bought from the local abattoir. I'm hoping to go there in the morning and restock. If not I will go next weekend and we will just have to either wing it or starve! I have got bacon so I could make a spicy bacon, cheese and tomato pasta and also a quiche. I also have vegetables, noodles and a jar of satay sauce so I cam make a stirfry. Last but not least if I get really desperate there is a box of cod fishfingers lurking somewhere is the freezer that hubby had me buying because he fancied fishfinger butties but we never got around to having them. We could have these with some homemade chips and i'm sure I have a tin of mushy peas at the back of the cupboard somewhere. I'm really looking forward to my time off work for Easter. I want to really get stuck into decluttering, sorting and reassesing things. Will post you a few pics of what i've cooked today and also my garden in the snow. You will see how deep the snow is on my garden table. Must be about 4". Have a good Sunday everyone. I'm going to visit my mum in the morning then maybe my brother. Think if I get chance I will call in to see how my grandaughter is too. I'm going to take her to the Wacky Warehouse for her birthday and treat her and her mum to lunch next weekend. I've also promised that we can have a picnic indoors with her and my nephew and niece next Sunday which is her birthday. Heaven help my carpets!!

Take care,
