The Hill in.....February! & Giveaway Results...

So many apologies for only now posting this!! I have just been so, so busy...work, family...I had a photoshoot for my new website (details soon!) on Friday, which was an amazing experience ! Lots going on. And snow too!! A few weeks ago, I actually dared to think that Spring might be here. I took Alice for a walk on the hill, the day before she was clipped...I neither wore, nor needed a coat and the little one was panting away with the heat by the end! And then yesterday we woke to thick snow...it fell all day...and the wind and frost this morning is transporting us back to January!

I took these pictures on the last day in February...almost a month ago now...



the gorse was spreading its coconut fragrance along the path edges...



I loved the look of this fungus, too...









the landscape was still bleak, brownish and empty...but the sky was a watercolour painting that morning...Alice sat on the steps of the memorial in her thick coat, now long gone..like a teddy bear!




The road up to the hill is twisty and rough...it will be slippery with ice & snow right now, so we are walking in the park and alongside the canal until it thaws out!

And now, finally, those giveaway results...I felt so bad that I am almost a week late with these, that I have added two further prizes so that 3 of you will receive a little gift to cheer you until Spring really is here!

The winner of the Jane Austen stamps, Pride & Prejudice and the Comic Relief mug is.....Janice!! So many congratulations...I don't have a surname, Janice, so I hope you know who you are! If you email me at the address on the blog (mozartsgirl1756 at gmail dot com) and let me have your postal address, I will send it off to you ASAP!

And now to the other little things...next out of the hat (or mug, actually!) was WarmQuilts who wins...


this book of crossword puzzles, which should keep you occupied on any journey, or on a dull day...I love the cover, hope you do too! X

I smiled when the next name emerged...I love Julie Whitmore's beautiful pottery, so I hope that she will like some of Emma Bridgewater's in return?!

Julie, I will be sending you this tiny baby mug painted with robins...



I know you love birds as I do, so hope that you will enjoy it sweetie!

Send me those addresses, ladies, and I will get them sent off to you before Easter.

I loved reading all your stories of beloved pets...they absolutely climb into our hearts, don't they?

Sending much love for a wonderful...and hopefully warmer....week to you xoxo
