Frosty Morning Walk

Hey Jelly Beans

Sorry I haven't blogged in the last two days. I have been so under the weather, I have been living in my bed. Aren't bugs and flu just the worst? Anyway enough self pity, I'm much, much better now and back to entertain :).

As you can probably tell by title of this post, we have had some pretty heavy frosts the last couple morning. Harvey and I went out for our morning walk and my goodness, today was no exception. Let's just say I'm glad I took my camera with me!

So the first thing that caught my eye, even before I left the car park was yes my little Mia. For those of you who don't know who Mia is, well she's my car! But enough about the name, the pattern on the roof was lovely. I would even go as far as to say simply beautiful when the weak morning sun was peaking through the hazy mist shining down on it
 
This next one was plain and simple, but still striking. I first noticed them when Harvey went charging through the field, kicking them up in the air and the icy edges seemed to scatter off the leave and fall to the ground like tiny snow flakes.
 
I don't think I need to say anything about this picture. It speaks for itself!
 
 
Now these two pictures, brings back such good memories for me. When my sister and I were very little, our Dad used to take us up on the moors where there was this huge conker tree. We would spend hours going through the spikey shells picking out the biggest and best ones to take home and dry, ready to play conkers at school the next day. Once we had picked our plastic bags full, we would go home to Mum making hot chocolate and spray cream. Now I'm unsure these are early, late or the right time of year to pick them. Regardless, this tree was filled with them.
 
 
Once we had returned home, I  found this stunning spiders web covered in these frozen little water droplets. Stunning seems a tame word to use, they look so delicate with the tiny jewels simply clinging to the threads.
 
So there you have it. Sorry it was just about my morning walk, but I wanted to share with you how stunning our surroundings are when you have a sharp frost.
 
If you go for a walk in the morning or even evening and see something like me, take a photo, send it too me via my email, (address listed above in Contact), Instagram or Twitter. Don't forget to use the hash tag #hixxiefrostywalk so I can see them all. Best photo will feature on here and my instagram page.
 
Hope you all have a fabulous weekend.
 
Love Ya'll

Berlin Day 2

Hello Jelly Beans, So todays post is going to be short and sweet, simply because I visited one place and then had to come home due to feeling a little poorly. So first thing was breakfast. Being summoned to the breakfast room this sight greeted me. Freshly squeezed juices, different teas and coffee. Doughnuts, croissants, toast, muffins both sweet and savoury, a huge selection of cereal and of course a fried breakfast. I went for some simple toast and a cuppa tea. Before heading out in the taxi to my next location to explore.   So I hear you all shout "where did you go today"? Well my dear friends, I shall tell you. Today I took a trip to the iconic landmark that is. The Berlin Wall. Well what can I tell you about this wall. The Berlin Wall was a barrier constructed by the German Democratic Republic starting on 13 August 1961, that completely cut off West Berlin from surrounding East Germany and from East Berlin. The barrier included guard towers placed along large ...

Ford Street Car 1.6 Luxury - Cute & Affordable

Good Evening Everyone. Today I thought that I would start something slightly different as a running series. Car/vehicle reviews. Now I absolutely love my cars and vehicles so thought I would kick off this series with my very own love....The Ford Street Ka!! As much a fashion accessory as a mode of transport, the Street Ka is cute enough to have character, cheap enough to be bought by a single girl about town and sensible enough to serve a useful purpose while it looks good. The solid underpinnings of the car have been stiffened and tweaked to release a wee bit more performance, but this is not a vehicle with any serious sporting pretensions. It's eminently chuckable, but the limitations of the 1.6-litre engine prevent even clog-footed drivers getting themselves into trouble. Around town it's at its best, darting in and out of traffic, nipping into tight parking spaces and performing neat little U-turns. On the motorway it gets a bit too talkative but is f...
