God save the queen

I had a day's leave on Wednesday, and my best friend V was off sick, so we had a nice long gossip on the phone. I had the telly on.

Walking in a winter wonderland

Today didn't quite pan out as expected. I expected the usual dull work day, although I was due to take Lauar to school as husband is in London...but then it snowed. Boy, did it snow. Up early, and tuned it local radio (who were doing a stonking job) and finally at 8.05am, like almost every other school in the area, the announcment came that laura's school was closed. She prompted got dressed,and raced outside to enjoy it to the full...




By 9.30 we had built a snowman, and had a snowball fight!





Laura declared this to be the best day in her life ever.

However, for this 5 year old it got even better. Look what happened later...



She lost her first tooth.

Make it magnificent tonight

Not filmed by me....and be warned, the sound is shocking....but I was there. I'm one of the heads bopping up and down in about the third row, right in front of the stage.




And here is she is again.....I don't care what she injects into her face....this is one of the most beautiful women on the planet.
