It's been a while since our last post, not sure about season to be jolly, more like season to be rushed off your feet! We both had cold/flu over Christmas so we didn't get out as much as we would have liked. We had a good time though and still managed a drink or three. We've just about got back to full strength now so we're hoping to get out and about in the coming weeks.

We stayed in for New Years Eve, watching the snow falling and then went for a walk in it at 1am in the morning! It was the best snowfall we've had for a few years now, a whole 2 inches! On New Years Day we did nothing, a combination of cold and alcohol had finally finished us off!



We've got most of the wedding plans finished off now, the disco, wedding car, photographer have now been added to the 'done' list. And the honeymoon has also been booked, we're off to see the mountains in Scotland! We're hoping there is much snow up there in December as there is now, not that we're considering any skiing or anything ..lol...

We've put the old guest book back on the web site, just a case of, if it's not broken, why fix it ..lol..

We've added some weather links to our web site that we use to see if the snow is coming, not that they do us any good, it's been coming all week and as yet we've seen about 10 minutes of sleet ...lol... There is small chance of snow tomorrow so we may be out with the camera . . who knows.....

Hello there!

We've finished moving our website from BT to BT-Yahoo!

We've made a couple of changes and many more changes are on the way. We're now using a new Yahoo guestbook, so feel free to add your comments. We've added a link on the photos page to our new photo album, this will include all of the photos posed on this blog plus any others that we like the look of.

Just seen the latest long range weather forecast and it looks like a White Christmas is back on again :-) It will probably be off again tomorrow, but at least there is still hope ..lol..

Howdy doody doo!

We've had a busy weekend again. We went shopping on Saturday for a digital camcorder, it was a bit of a nightmare but we got one in the end and by Monday night we we're watching ourselves on the dvd player . . . top banana!

We went for a ride up to snake pass (near Glossop) at the weekend, it was a little bit on the cold side. We got a little bit of video footage up there and I look like Captain Scott of the Antartic in my big snorkel coat being blown all over the place ...lol... We came back home via Holme Moss to watch the sunset again, not quite as good as the other week due to lack of cloud cover, but it was still lovely.

No sign of any snow yet, we been on the look out since September ..lol.. Hey ho, it's only early days yet and who knows, we might be snowed in for Christmas!

Here are a couple of the piccies we took on Sunday....


Valley below snake pass.


A few stray clouds have got lost over holme moss.


If you get the urge to howl while looking at this one, you should probably seek help ...lol...

See ya for now . . .

Back again, a long time since our last update, we must update this thing more often. We've been out taking piccies that we were going to do two months ago ..lol..

Latest news is that Debbie has started her new job and is settling in nicely and we are now looking forward to christmas. We've been out and bought loads of decorations, watch out for power cuts when we switch on next month ..lol..

Here are the piccies that we look in the Pennines the other week...


View from the Longendale Trail.


Lucy waiting for us to catch up ...lol...

The front room is now finished, all silver and blue with a nice new open flame gas fire which will be great for warming frozen toes after a day out in the snow

We've been out this afternoon taking pictures of the sunset over the pennines and it was more spectacular than we were hoping for. Can't wait while we get some snow and we'll back up there again . . .with a flask.







Well, off we go again to crack a couple of cans of cider and a glass or three of wine while watching scooby doo and sleepy hollow...

Here we are again!
News about my job,

I QUIT....

I was left in a shop all on me own when i was suppose to be in an office doing accounts work! in the middle of nowhere, and was expected to lift bags of cow and sheep food ect all on me own with some very grumpy farmers about...lol... Paul was not a happy chappie when he found out I had been left on me own and esp with the clocks going back this weekend it will be dark by 4pm....yikes...you don't know who could be on them country lanes......it makes me shudder thinking about it.....

WE have finally been decorating this weekend and got all the glossing done in blue with silver hi lites it looks fantastic.... Paul's dad is coming tomorrow to help hang the wallpaper so this could be fun watching Paul and his dad doing a lot of head scratching and cursing under their breaths....lol...

We finally took some piccies last weekend while we was in the Yorkshire Pennines, so as soon as we can we will upload them and let you have a look at the beautifull contryside that we have got.

Well time to go again, me cider is getting warm...lol...

Hello again, Well here the news Debbie wanted to tell you all, she has got a new job, it was her first day today and she loved every minute of it, lets see what tomorrow holds, the place were she's working is in the middle of the countryside and in the morning all you see is pheasants and squirrels and of course mad drivers on the country lanes...lol...

We went last week to see how to get there and it's quite a drive along very narrow country lanes up and down steep hills . . . should be fun in the snow ...lol... Will have to make sure she takes the camera with her.

I wish I was dodging suirrels and pheasants at work instead of the proverbial flying off the fan ...lol...

We've had a busy weekend again, lot's to do . . . mostly shopping ..lol.. We got some mega bargains including very sexy boots for Debbie ;-) We got a cool dude snowman, a rocking reindeer and some window decorations for christmas :-) We are still on the lookout for some more blue microlites, they look mega on our white christmas tree. We were wanting to get some lights for the blue spruce that we planted in the front garden, but it's only a foot high and might look a bit daft ...lol...

See ya soon
