Snow bound Anglesey

After a couple of days of being snowbound, we were able to get out yesterday and take some photo's, so I was a happy bunny. It's very unusual for us to get so much snow I have to say, so we were quite excited. As I'm a member of a weather forum, I knew this snow was coming and made sure we were stocked up with enough food to last a week or two. My daughter went to check our elderly neighbour was ok, as her usual stream of visitors were noticeable by their absence, but she's fine and has been told to bang the wall if she needs anything. She also went and cleared another disabled neighbours snow off his car for him after noticing he'd been trying to use his car heaters to melt it with no success lol. The temperature was -8 this morning, which is the lowest I've ever seen it, so we might well be icebound now, as our street front and back hasn't been treated at all, so the snow is very compacted now.

All my commissions are now done and have been sent off. However 4 of them might not reach their new owner as quickly as she'd hoped. As she is still stuck in Cyprus after spending the last two days at the airport waiting to get a flight home to the UK to see her family. She was hoping to get a flight at 6am this morning, but after seeing the news today I think it's doubtful her flight will get to Heathrow as she'd hoped.

As all my commissions were done, it was time to clear the decks of all my usual crafty clutter ....my front room looks very bare. I'm also starting to get bored with nothing to do, so some clutter might have to sneak it's way back in again, which I'm sure will cause raised eyebrows from my daughter lol !!!

On our travels yesterday, we spotted some wild ponies in a field so stopped to take some photo's. They were obviously not used to visitors as they headed our way very quickly, wow they were scary looking with really wild looking eyes !! As the light faded and the temperature dropped we got to see mists rising above the road, which looked very odd, it was good to have a break from the house though.

Enough of my waffling here's a few photo's we took yesterday.
