Weather stops Play

By
M6 1ft of snow fell in 2hrs overnight
We were due to travel north up the M6 to take Harry to Blackburn Ice Rink and watch our fantastic Coventry Blaze Under 16's Ice Hockey team beat Blackburn (well we hoped :-) later today, but really heavy snow on the M6 over night put a stop to us getting anywhere near Blackburn today.
The house is all clean, washing and ironing up to date, kiddywinkies have been fed and have gone out, I've got a few spare hours so I got out some of the fab Artisitc Outpost stamps, now in at Ali Craft and some distress inks and this is what emerged lol!!!  I'm now covered in green pine needles distress ink that won't come off lol!!!!!

    I had an Email from a friend in Burnley who had gone to Manchester for something yesterday and Mick was saying it took 6 hours to get home...I wish we could swap some of out warm dry weather for some of the snow! They put us on water conservation last week as this is the 3rd dry winter in a row and the water table is down over 8 feet. We were 70+degrees last week and for January that is never heard of in Oklahoma...usually in the 30's. Love the tags you made! I don't care when I get a little inky...one load of dishes takes care of it! stay warm! Vickie

    Hi Vikki, thats awful. Burnley is only 10 minutes from where we were going today. It was such a shame as the boys love their ice hockey matches, we do too. I'd give my inky fingers for some warm Oklahoma weather right now. The fingers have been through three loads of washing up and they re still pine needle green eeeek!!!!! Bw C

    We all complain about the weather don't we? It's either too hot or too cold. I'm in Adelaide, Australia and we've had heat waves and floods and cyclones all round the country. Weather has been so extreme lately I think we all have the right to complain, but I would LOVE to see some snow here. Love your tags Clare especially the green. Awesome! ox Marg

    My goodness ... you DID have gobs of snow. We've only had five minutes of it and I thought that was memorable (here in Oregon where snow is a rarity). These tags are so beautiful -- the one with the glasses just made me smile. LOL Love the colors. And your fingers ... I say, a really good "scrapbooker" always has ink on her somewhere! Hugs from across the pond and stay warm, sweet Clare! Ruth Ann XO

    Hi Angie, lovely to hear form you, and thanks for stopping by my blog. I was so glad the game was cancelled, the thought of spending a night on the M6 or having an accident was sending me loopy!!! as we didn't find out the game was cancelled until lunch time. We' re due to come up later in the season so hope the weather doesn't stop us again.

For those of you unfamiliar with our isle, Wales is full of magnificent Castles, sandy beaches, picturesque scenery and a gorgeous coastline.  I had to have a quick pit stop to see Raglan Castle. Saw my first Dragon too :-)   After a journey that took me across the middle of the country and th...
