{Green Day 24}

If you go down to the woods today be sure of a big surprise...

 come on now and don't be shy...

that's better,

now we can see lovely you! 

I have a very short post for you today and the reason for this is because the letters on the left of my keyboard have died 

so when I type "are trees green"

it comes out as "a tres grn"

you would honestly think I had 6 glasses of vino in me when posting

so a bit of a nuisance

so please excuse my lack of commenting and posting this week

fingers crossed I will get it sorted soon.

****

Anyway I hope that you are all well and staying warm and dry.

The weather here has been very cold and frosty

with horrible icy roads in the mornings

I am like Miss Daisy driving to work

 I trudge along really really slowly

as I am so scared of skiding

(yesterday a tractor overtook me)!!

I have the results of the giveaway for the Christmas ornament

well done to the winners and commiserations to the people who weren't picked out

but there will be another giveaway after  Christmas so maybe next time!

Knitting...

After all your lovely compliments on my shawl/ I bought some wool and have started again

I really enjoyed the last one and when it finished my fingers were itching to give it another go

so hopefully this new knit will turn out ok...

Lovely Jennifer from A Well Styled Life has tagged me in the Sunshine award...

These are the questions she asked...

Who is a style icon for you?

This is a really difficult question to answer as there are so many stylish women
women who  dress really well and have oodles of style and panache
 I tend to dress in what suits me, trends that flatter my shape, colours I like
and I think that I have a fair idea of what works.and what doesn't
afterall I have years of experience!!!!

Can I name my style icon - No

What is your favourite cookbook?

I have shelves and shelves of cookbooks

I very rarely use them but they do look pretty in the kitchen.

any cookbook by Rachel Allen would be a favourite of mine

her recipes are simple, easy to follow and delicious

so always a winner!

What is the best book you read this year?

I think the best book I read this year was "The Island" by Victoria Hislop

I really enjoyed it. 

I'm reading "The Lost Wife" at the moment and that is a pretty good read too!

What one cosmetic can you not leave home without putting on?

Only one!!!!!

I never leave the house without makeup, never ever, ever!

I would scare away small children, old people, young people,  animals ....

But I suppose  if I had to chose one I would pick lipstick

as I would feel naked without it!

What is your favourite moisturiser?

Every day - Liz Earle

Pay day - Clarins

Some day  - Creme de la Mer

Thanks Jennifer for thinking of me.

I am not going to tag anyone today

but if you would like to take part it would be lovely to read your answers.

Well it's Friday and so it's Green Day

The usual rules apply...

Thank you to all who participate I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do
