This will be a brief blog as I'm running out of time!! How can that be when you don't work? I don't know but there it is....
It is snowing and very cold and I have seen flurries and light fluffy snow, crunchy snow, slippery icey paths and even snow coming down almost horizontally this afternoon. I have my snow boots, Dubarrys of Ireland, that have Gortex inside to breathe and yet remain 100% waterproof ... or so they say!
I am wearing Peter's Blundstones now because they are good on slippery ice. I see Australian Uggs everywhere, very popular. Ugg Australia must be making huge profit from sales in US and Canada at least... and while we tend to wear them around the house, they are worn here everywhere as a fashion item. Curious that Australia produces good shoes for the freezing temperatures of Canada in Winter!!! It is about the only Australian product I see here regularly.
Here a couple of photos of the snow in the street we're living in...
Our photo group has been meeting every week, Saturday morning. Last week was at an historic food market here, St Laurence. Here's a photo of a local busker at the markets, some of the produce and then one of some of our group. This week we are meeting in a tropical conservatory... you have to be creative in this weather to get nature and still be able to use your fingers!
Finally, some photos of bringing home the Christmas tree. Haven't decorated it yet. That'll be tomorrow night.
