Welcome to a round up of posts you might have missed on Smorgasbord this week.
It has been a mixed week weather wise here with high winds, some sunshine and flurries of snow. We have got off lightly looking at the headlines from around the world, and even in the UK less than 100 miles away at the nearest point, there has been very heavy snow and disruption.
We are getting ready to have our kitchen renovations done so we will be moving our computers back into the dining room for a while. It will be good to get that job done. Looking at the empty pots in the garden I am also looking forward to better weather at the end of the month to visit the garden centre to get the new plants and get the outside looking more colourful.
As always my thanks to my friends who contribute to the blog…

Another full week full of fun and frolics as well as plenty of information.
The snow fell here briefly last week but didn’t stay around for long.
Plenty of slushy snowmen in the local school but they soon slushed away.
but now winds and rain.
Looking forward to a bit of sunshine, warmer weather and getting out in the garden.

I just love the magic and the class certainly thought it was too. LOL
