Friday we went up to
Cumbria to see Mr
Mog's aged parent and to stay over with friends for the night. It was very icy,snow everywhere and
extremely cold. Most of the pictures I took came to nothing as there was a blizzard to travel in. I do have some pictures to show though.

This gives you some idea of the kind of weather we came home in. It became much foggier than this the nearer we got to home.

The trees are stunning in their naked beauty.

This is a path you can see from the road over
Whinlatter,near
Keswick.

The view of
Bassenthwaite Lake from the top of
Whinlatter.

Another view towards the top of
Whinlatter .

Just an idea of the snow going over
Dunmail Raise towards
Keswick from
Ambleside
Yet we also had some sunshine

This morning's view from the promenade looking over towards the Lake District Hills.

I received the above letter of thanks for the Hospice socks from St Johns. What it should have said was a big thank you to everyone who helped and encouraged this project.

I have been knitting for Yule gifts. A
moebius cowl with a mixture of sock yarn, rayon glitter yarn and mohair hand dyed.

This cowl is for me and is made from some wonderful hand spun/hand dyed yarn that
Artis Anne made me. Isn't it lovely? It feels so warm to wear.

These socks are made with blue faced
Leicester yarn that I dyed, these are for a gift.

Then this morning we woke to magpies on the roof opposite. Just 2 here but there were 5 at one stage. I love magpies.
