You say "Jump", I say "How high?"

This is definitely one of those, "Well you look nothing like her" Inspiration Mondays!  But what the heck!!!
It's Inspiration Monday over at the Two birds and I really wish I had this sheepskin gilet!  I'd love one!
 I actually have similar boots and jumper but there was no way I was wearing either today!!!! 
 Instead, I went for the pieces.
Jeans (well, passably similar!), M&S long ago,
Jumper, er- Gap (it has grey in it-does that count!?) bought when I slipped over in the snow in Angel, Islington, 2 years ago. Crying, I walked into GAP and bought this to make myself feel better!
Gilet (it's a gilet and it's furry! That counts!) Bay trading around 12 years ago!
Sheepskin duffle boots, Ukala, 
Hat, Joyce Anderson, Corbridge.
Grey scarf- ditto
Rabbit necklace- Wolf Moon.
Earrings (barely visible) handmade by friend.

 

Mad-hatter's tea-party ensued.
 Just in case you missed yesterday's snow antics, I decided to play again!


Go and see the other Birds here!

Have a nice Monday!!!!

Let it snow let it snow let it snow! (Singing in the snow escapades!)

Hello there!  How are you on this excitingly white day?!  My newest follower Lea (hello there, so kind of you to follow!!!) thinks I am sane, so I intend to disprove her opinion with this picture in one fell-swoop!!!!!

 It's been such fun seeing the world changed so much purely by the addition of a little frozen water!!!
I'm back!  We've had a week of prayer and such at church,which has been glorious, so I've been there much of the week and not on here!!!
 I wasn't even the slightest bit cold at church this morning!  I am quite sure I am wearing more fluffy clothes than is permissable for the average person!
 More insanity! Just after this took, as I landed, my turquoise furry muffler (dangling round my neck) bopped me in the face!  Still, better than yesterday when I was climbing a kids suspension bridge in the park and misjudged the distance to the ground and fell badly on my ankle landing in a heap!!!! Oops, how to explain that to my boss if I had seriously damaged something!
 Isn't it amazing how everything takes on an amazing Narnia-like magic and sheen in the snow! I thought I'd take some shots of my road and garden.
 I love this palm down my road.  Moreover, I love the juxtaposition of it and the snow!
 Mmmmm, makes me think of lemon drizzle cake!
 In the vicarage garden, where I took a sneaky shortcut... It really is the Secret garden in there!!! I thought of Dickon and Mary entering the garden!
I also appointed myself as adjudicator for the snowman competition and here are the finalists.

 In third place, with a stoop and rounded shoulders, suggesting more of a senior snowman, plus an unhealthy-looking carrot-cigar, we have 'Old Man (frozen) River'
 With sinister red-beady eyes and a disproportionately round lower-half in comparison to slender arms we have: "Red Round" in second place.
 In first place we have "Slim Jim" in an attractive hat and scarf combo (wins every time!) He even sweeps his own path!
 I didn't have to share the snow in my garden so after this, it was BIG footprint frenzy!
 I'm surprised these figs still remain on the tree!  The blackbirds were BACK when I went out!

 My dear Dad has been on at me for ages to get some of those springy snow-grip-things you attach to your shoes so I christened them and they are brilliant thus far!  You can attach them to any shoe. Here I attached them to my sheepskin boots and there have been no slippages! Unfortunately, my friend who doesn't have them wasn't so lucky and has hurt her recently healed fragile-broken ankle! If you want some, I got mine (Yaxtrax) from QVC here 
 The hat of course!!! I'm Lara again!

Have you had snow?  Are you expecting it?!  Sorry to blogger-friends who didn't get any! :-( 
Cheerio for now!!!!
