The last few days have seen some real old fashioned wintery weather.
The boys haven't been to school apart from Tuesday as the buses were cancelled, and my work was closed today.
I had a reduced gammon steak in the freezer so it was pulled out and used to make a pot of gammon and lentil broth. This was served with chunks of hm bread for a lovely warming lunch.
I also made some fat balls to hang in the trees in the garden for the birds.
As we live in a rural setting with a country lane to the houses, the lane is to say the least very slippery( compacted frozen snow with fresh falling on top); it is times like this when you appreciate your store cupboard and freezer, and not have to worry about getting to a shop.
Definitely appreciating having stocked up my larder and freezer before the snow came. We can get to the shops but as we are walking and it is slippery it's good that we only need the occasional light items like veg and fresh meat.
