But will it snow?....Hello there, do you have any snow yet? I love snow but I doubt we will have any here in Cornwall. For one, it's very wet and windy outside at the moment some would say 'It's blowing a gale' so the chances of snow are very slim. Plus we seldom get snow in Cornwall....There was definitely snow on January 17 1912 however when Robert Falcon Scott and his party reached the South Pole....
Scott of the Antarctic and his Party...
January is going quickly and my intentions to post more regularly have slipped a little. I will say in my defence that I have been very busy. I have been de-cluttering big time and proud of what I have so far achieved, still a long way to go though but will get there in the end. I have also been busy with selling on ebay and now have a selling page on facebook...yes I also have a facebook account, which can be interesting...lol...
Last year I had so many things I wanted to post on my blog. I would be out and about, taking photos and making notes 'I'll put that on my blog'. You know what it's like, intentions are good but time flies by....So I thought I would post something from 2012 regardless. As to be expected I will start with my family....
My darling granddaughter Korenza on her 5th birthday on December 10
My beautiful trio of grandees...Dylan, Blake & Korenza 25 December...I love this photo of them..
My handsome son with his gorgeous children...I am very proud of him, he does an amazing job as a single father....
Blake, my youngest grandee with Chicken Pox, the last one to get it. Dylan first followed by Korenza....Best out of the way now...
With the weather being so cold I thought I would post about a day in September 2012 when we actually had some sunshine.....
We decided to visit Zennor, a beautiful village here in Cornwall, and one of my favourite places. It has a interesting legend about The Mermaid of Zennor which I will write about on my blog Away with the Faerys...But the purpose of our visit there on that day was to see an exhibition in the church...

Yes, I took lots of photos and I will show some of them here. I will be posting the rest on my blog The Primitive Cornish Attic....After arriving at Zennor hubby parked the car , I had got out first so he could reverse into a space. As I walked across the car park a man called out and asked if if I had dropped anything. As I looked back I notice a squashed bundle on the floor. Without my knowing a carton of ciggies had fallen out and hubby and driven over them!!!! I know smoking is bad for you but this was funny......

Vintage Craft Items...
It was a very interesting exhibition but some items made me feel old, I could remember them from my childhood..lol...
We had a set of this crockery when I was a child...
How many of you remember having dolls like this? I do and still have some...

One of many days we enjoyed in 2012....But it's now 2013 so I hope I have many more.
Until next time, take care..hugs Chrissy xx
