Lets all build a snow man.

Not enough snow to make a respectable snowman in Geneva but in co Durham it's been quite good not as good as about 1973 . The best snowmen ever were made by Calvin as in Calvin and Hobbs. Their neighbors would ring up and complain.

And you could write comical blogs about us when we'd gone!

There's an idea for you Phoenix. Open a pub!
If you did b&b as well we could all come and visit!

Absent I think Phoenix would make a lovely pub landlady - and sure to give us free drinks

What a very sweet bit of film Elegran .

Ah yes, well done absent I'd forgotten that, senile old bat that I am!

phoenix I think Riverwalk is just referring to the Venus de Milo snow person you mentioned a few posts ago not suggesting that you have transmogrified into a landlady.

Riverwalk do you mean Lil's or are you being all sort of enigmatic?

Back to pandas (sorry, just opened laptop today so there is a gap) here is another clip. These are in China. pandas in snow

Lil's Bar???

I haven't got a pub! There is one that we go to, but that's in Black Torrington.

Your pub!

Riverwalk what pub, where and who!?

Digby doesn't seem overimpressed with it, but Maurice has always been quite keen, in his own way!

Some very artistic people in your pub Phoenix! Are you near St Ives?

Does your dozy sorry, darling Digby like the snow?

To quote Fab Four 'I should have known better'
Well my driver is going to dare the side roads to try and get me to work

Me and my big mouth! We now have snow.

I can still picture Chi Chi playing with a tyre when I saw her at London Zoo on a school trip [the next time I saw her was at the Natural History Museum and I cried]. The most delightful of creatures aren't they.

Oh Bless! You wouldn't think Pandas would play like that. It shows a sort of sense of humour.

The last time we had decent snow, someone did the most gorgeous snow version of the Venus de Milo in the pub car park!

Go for it, Glass they would no doubt do better than the first team !

Someone has built a very fetching " snow babe" on my way to work, complete with boobies, bra and G strings!

Lovely film elegran

lovely bit of film!

The keepers at Ed Zoo made a snowman for Tian Tian, the female panda, with carrots for eyes, nose and buttons, and a hat of panda cake. When she found it she instantly ate the carrots and then started playing with the two large snowballs it was made of. see here

Thay are used to snow where they come from, but this was her first meeting with a snowman. She seemed to like it!

Two enormous heaps of snow from DH and neighbours clearing drives and paths. May be snowmen by tomorrow if the students are out sledging. Heavy lifting part complete, just needs the artistic effort now.
