Having a nose around


Water went down guys....... sometimes it does, the man made bank has held again. But never takes to feel complacent about it.... today we woke up to a clear blue sky, river back to normal.

In the meantime the bad weather has given me the opportunity to do other things other than paint walls.

The nose you see is from the "new" bear, but as it is unfinished can't let you see yet.

Water update at 11 p.m.



It has stopped raining, and now it's snowing......

Time to go to bed....................................................................

Sun will shine in the morning!

Why is the cottage called SOGGIBOTTOM?


The water is rising today.


The playing field floods (at this stage it is just a puddle). The water level changes from minute to minute, although we have our man made bank between the park and Soggibottom Cottage to contain the water.......
We are on flood watch.


As the amount of water tries to flow under the park foot bridge, it spills out into the already flooded park, up the path to arrive at our front door.

Hopefully the bank will do as it is supposed to do and contain the water in the park.

More rain to come tonight. ......... Decorating has really been put on hold..............


This is the bridge at the front of the cottage, still has a way to go before we panic.

The name Soggibottom was suposed to make you smile as well!

Chocoholic food for Becca

By now Becca has started to have chocolate with drawl symptoms.

Three huge bars that we have put in the fridge....ops 2 any way in the fridge for you, don't quite know how long they are going to last in there.

Jacob's Cardy of many colours


AH................ at last I have finished Jake's cardy....
He wanted pink "bits".
I am sure I have knitted this twice as,
I messed up putting it together a few days ago.

How was it that a simple thing took me ages to do?

Still waiting on the weather for our decorating,
the sandbags are on standby ready for the storm headed our way.

I have a million and one things to keep me busy till the weather gets better.
As soon as the onion bear is ready Kat, you will be the first to see it!
Sewing stage is over, now comes the interesting STUFFING IT bit....

Haldon Hill as it should look!


Hi Guy's
Yes we should have been painting today...
We should have had a brand new back door (double glazed).

Should have been putting in new down lights to our kitchen.
WEATHER!!!!

Anyone that has seen the news today, will understand why we didn't..

Why I have tried to catch up with my sewing needle..... and knitting needles.
Why does this Country grind to a halt?
Snow................
To my darling Steve and our lovely Becca....
Be cool..............................X X X X
