Snow, Birds, Grimm....

Haven't blogged in a while, mainly because nothing exciting has happened and also because I've been engrossed in my new book The Brothers Grimm Tales.....

I've wanted this book for so long, and when I saw this beautiful purple hardback version of it I knew I just had to buy it. I've been fully engrossed in this book, it's great to read the original folklore stories instead of the PG rated or Disney version ones. It also has the most beautiful illustrations...

I also received last week my demonology book and Greek myths book I ordered of Amazon, both subjects really interest me, I bought the Greek book because I really would love to know more of the facts about Greek mythology, and this book has it all even time lines and family trees. I can't wait to get started on it.

While reading the Grimm fairy tales in my room one afternoon I heard a lot of seagulls in a flutter and looked out to see what they were doing. The next door neighbour had put out some bread for the birds and the seagulls came in large numbers. It felt like a scene from the birds, I took a few pics of them...

Also took a couple of pics of the snow we've had this week which is thankfully all gone now..

I appreciate the snow until it turns to ice then I can't wait for it to be gone. It was pretty while it lasted.

So yesterday I went into Doncaster town centre with Josh and the rents, finally got round to spending Joshes Christmas money, bought some brand new clothes, a few books and some toys from the Disney store. He was quite pleased to be spending money, unfortunately he wanted everything in the Disney store. After we got home I decided to have a good sort out of Joshes clothes and put away his old clothes that didn't really fit anymore, he had quite a few, I ended up filling a huge bag to pass on.

Spurned on by cleaning yesterday, today I had a huge sort out of my room and filled a huge bag of unwanted clothes and a black bag of rubbish I didn't want anymore. I feel quite cleansed now. I also got rid of about 12 pairs of shoes. I didn't actually realise how many pairs of shoes I own until I got them all out.

This is just half of my collection I found, I've thrown 12 pairs out at this point as well, I don't even know where all these shoes came from.

Snow & Fog...

Took a couple pics of the fog today on my way up to school to pick Josh up...

You can just guarantee that the snow on the path is turning to ice tomorrow and I won't be stable at all.

Snow & Cakes...

Haven't blogged much because there hasn't been much going on. It started snowing yesterday, now it's settled to about 4 inches. Yesterday while it was snowing I was in the kitchen baking my parents late anniversary cake. Then at night me and Gareth went for a catch up to Gemma's, a 20 minute journey took us nearly 45 minutes because of the snow.

I took a pic on Friday of the frost in the graveyard....

To the left of the picture, there seems to be a strange circle of light, hmmm.

Here is a picture of the cake I made for my mum, I wasn't able to make it last week because I was ill, so I took the opportunity of a free Saturday to bake it...

I thought it turned out quite well for a first time at making characters.

Took a few pics of the snow as well...

Heres a little video of the jam session we had at Gemmas last night...
