A friend from home requested this fab carrier bag from Tesco's so I popped there today to pick it up. What a cute Orla Kiely pattern! I love how being green is becoming so chic!

I started knitting this last winter and had put it away this summer. Summer just does not seem like the time to knit. I found the best time to knit was to and from Scotland on our ski trips...I found it in the closet the other day whilst cleaning and thought if I put it on the chair, I'd pick it up and start knitting again. Has not happened yet, but hopefully this weekend.

Lets talk about books. I should do a post like this more often cause I love talking about which books I am reading, and getting comments back on which books you are reading (hint hint). I think those e-books are cool, and great for travel- however saying that, I don't think I could tear myself away from a real book in my hands. The different font, cover images, paper smell. They are special.
These are three books that I have going right now...
A bit of Canadian content here. Almost done this one, fantastic writing however a gloomy book the whole way through.(My photo will not rotate, sorry friends!)
A beautiful book my Mom gave me for Christmas. Just finished this one, really nice story and meaning within.
That hedgehog book, my friend gave me this one at Christmas. I've just started it, its interesting. However, not a book that you can doze off when reading as the language is pretty thick.

When I got into work today, someone had left a lovely surprise for me! Now, this isnt the Royal approved mug or anything, but I quite like it.

Like the melting of the snow in the UK, the blog has melted and a month later I've got no posts!
Shocking.
Well first off, a happy new year to all, and hope you had a very Merry Christmas. I was home for Christmas, and it was fantastic. So great to see family and friends- very blessed with the people in my life.
Some asked about the blog- where would I take it? What would I post next? "I check once a week", ect. Many seemed to like the top ten, but I can't do that again as my top ten is still the same. I'd love to keep it up, and wonder if I went back to a photo a day, would that suffice?
Lets try- tomorrow is a new day and will be a new post. Back to the photo of the day :)

The chill of the outdoors has sent me into a bit of a lazy state with the blog. That and the fact that these days its too cold to stop and take photos around town, one just needs to keep moving! When comparing the difference between Canada & England one thing that came to mind is snow. Yes, Canada gets snow, however the difference is how the two countries deal with the snow.
Its laughable here how the country shuts down when its snows, panic ensues, and no one can deal! I understand that the country may not have snow like we do at home, and do not have the equipment to deal with the snow like we do, but its a bit absurd at times. I think we need a Canadian consultant to aid the Brits when the snow starts to fall.

Last weekend I went to the Christmas Market in Birmingham. A tradition started in Germany, its something that happens in England during the four weeks of Advent. We went at night, so it was a fantastic way to end the day. Lebkuchen- kinda like gingerbread (see the image of the cookies), chocolate covered marshmellows and of course mulled wine were the treats that evening. A nice way to get into the Christmas spirit...
