So here I am at 8.30am in my pyjamas and in bed! Am I ill? Nope I’ve just booked myself a few days holiday ahead of the new trainee journalists starting in March. Yippee!
At the weekend I headed across to Lincolnshire to visit family and raid their charity shops (with great success!) and now I’m back in the North West plotting my next move.
I’d intended to wrap up and head out for a mooch around Wigan, however those plans were stymied when I opened the curtains and saw a charming combination snow on the ground and hailstones pounding the window.
BABY IT’S COLD OUTSIDE: Snow and hail visit us again
Having bid a hasty retreat back to bed I’ve decided to embrace the bad weather and stay indoors.
And it’s not all bad, remember the Breton jumper that I’ve been blogging about at great length? Well today’s the day I tackle the sleeves and start blocking it.
PROGRESS: Starting the sleeves
I’ve got plenty of great TV to keep me company including Dancing on the Edge….
JAZZ HANDS! Stephen Poliakoff’s Dancing on the Edge
… and Call the Midwife.
ON YER BIKE: Call the Midwife
This combined with endless cups of tea and a cheeky Jane Austen period drama thrown in at some point should make for a relaxed but productive day.
What are your plans?

Sounds like you’re having a great time. I’ve head good things about the Lincolnshire chazzas, I reckon a road trip could be on the cards when Gilbert’s back on the road in Spring! xxx
You should do – and fill Gilbert up to the gills with vintage goodies! xxx
Snow again!? We’ve had freezing temperatures but no snow down here : (
Yeah we had a flurry earlier today, but it’s all melted now *yay*
That jumper looks great! can’t beat classic stripes.
