Our climate means that medals of any sort in the Winter Olympics are a rarity for us.

On Saturday we got 3, making the total 4 overall and we got two in one event! And we also have our first ever double olympic champion as Lizzie Yarnold has won gold in successive games.

We now have our first ever skiing medal - a bronze in the ‘doing tricks whilst going over obstacles’ event (I forget what it’s called... sort of skateboarding on skis!) :D

Good morning all. Today we are taking Mum out for afternoon tea at Chatsworth House.

Mum’s birthday was just before Christmas and this was our birthday present to her :)

Chatsworth is the family seat of the Duke of Devonshire. (Devon is in the extreme south west of England, miles from here!)

It’s a lovely house and they have a good cafe/restaurant so we have high hopes :)

I think Jane, @JSWallace, may have posted postcards from Chatsworth in the past as she lives reasonably close to it :)

Sounds really nice. Enjoy and please get me a scone with butter, strawberry jam and a dollop of cream.

Good morning, roommates!
My in-laws are arriving on Tuesday. On the plus side, I should be able to share a few postcards with you from Copenhagen and “Hamlet’s” castle in Helsingor (Elsinore). ;)
I have a request: could we please pleeeeeaseee hold back any references to the (supposedly) coming spring until at least April? :D ;)

Good afternoon, Linda! :)
Yes, someone posted Chatsworth before, I'm fairly sure it was Jane.
Hope you all have fun! :)

Hello folks. Have a nice Sunday everyone and everywhere.

Here are some new pics of my fast growing tort dinosaurs. I got some Opuntia cactus for them and they eat it for the first time.
And they like it very much. They said: Very yummy mommy :D.....More please, or I will bite you in your fingers....:eek::D

They are very beautiful smooth little monsters, Sabine, as I may have remarked before.:):<3:
Good job.
And Tidgy says it's about time she had some prickly pear.
She's right, sorry Tidge.

She is a old lady too. Are you sure that she needs a play mate ? I think my old ladies would not be amused about a new puppy.
That is one reason why I have not gotten one so far. I have still not made my mind up yet whether I am going to get one or not. However she now chews anything left out which she did not do before. I even bought her those hoof hide chews things but that she goes and buries instead. Although thinking about it as I write this, a puppy will probably chew things too.!

These are awesome photos. You are lucky with your torts as mine won't touch it. I keep trying though.
