The Extraordinary in the Ordinary #4 - Looking Through the Window

The ripples of the ancient glass wash over the view beyond the window.

              

A Sprinkling of Narnia

Last night we got a little surprise!  White stuff was falling from the sky and (so excited!) settling!  So off we went to sleep, dreaming of being snowed in and having a very rare snowball fight in the morning.  Well, let's just say we were ever so slightly VERY disappointed.  Yes, a little slippy slidy, but school and college coaches were still making their stops and I was able to drive to the main road.  Ho hum!  BUT, the Narnia lamp post was waiting for me at work.  A little sprinkling of Narnia to greet me on this white morning.

(I did say a little sprinkling!)

Would you like to see more?  Well, I waited a little while until the light was right before I walked around Peterborough Cathedral, but not too long otherwise our huge snowfall would have melted.  It was so deep!

One sneeze and it would have blown away, but hey, humour me!

The Cathedral from the Cloisters looked stunning against the blue sky, especially with its white carpet against the ancient walls.

The quiet grave stones looked stunning with the remains of the snow and the green moss drinking up the moisture.

Yes, Peterborough Cathedral had a sprinkling of Narnia today, just enough... we don't want to be too greedy now do we?!

Thank you so much for your visits and comments this week on my Selfridges post, I am just working on part 2 (note to self... stop taking so many photos!!).

Have a wonderful week and keep safe and warm!

      

This week I am sharing with:
Roses of Inspiration Link Up Party

Spring Flowers and Chocolate! Perfect!!

It's been a quick week, I blinked and it had gone.  I'm not complaining but my camera card was sadly lacking and panic set in on what to write this evening!  However, it's amazing what chocolate and spring flowers can do to awaken creativity.

Yes, happy spring daffodils, hyacinths and the gorgeous and delicious Cadburys mini eggs.  We can't get enough of these chocolates encrusted with a crunch shell in this house!  

Of course I did go out during the week but kept to Peterborough (lunch times may have been spent buying secret stashes of chocolate eggs).  I love the Guild Hall on Cathedral Square and the entertainment that surrounds it.  Today there were Gospel Rappers - just standing by the steps with their mics and concentrating on their messages.  They were brilliant, with every word so clearly heard.  

Also on the camera card - the Narnia lamp post!  Another image that hopefully will gradually be filled in as the sap rises and the leaves begin to unfurl once again.

At home, me and Coco have been on longer walks.  We have tried to go as far as we can comfortably as her medication is quite limiting, but I had to show you how she is at the end... shattered!!  She is a brave little thing and is coping so well.

Next week there will be loads on the camera card as London is calling!  Not sure where we will be going yet, we have got as far as Kings Cross on the train in our minds but we still have to agree on where we will be visiting.  I'll take you on the magical mystery tour next weekend!!

Can I also let you know about a Facebook Group called 'Authentic Bloggers' (the link is in my side bar).  This is a closed group to meet fellow bloggers and share information and advice.  I am new but so far I have loved every day getting to know people on different platforms.  See you on there!!

I also need to say a very very big, huge thank you for all the comments on my last post on the button heart.  For those who are going to have a go, Enjoy!!

Have a wonderful weekend and see you in London!!
