Snow Queens and their Lairs


The UK is gripped in an early Winter Freeze and now the weather is starting to close in here, Christmas is just round the corner, everyone wants to get on with things at this busy time of year but the weather is hampering matters, it's a shame these wintry conditions could not of held off for a few weeks and given everyone a long awaited White Christmas, I hope those affected are bearing up and keeping warm.

  1. Yes I heard that it is bitter cold there,
    Dr Zhivago was one of my parents favorite movie, it was very sad though.

    Love the dog "the snow queen" I had a dog that looked just like this sweet one -- -- and this breed is sweet & smart & friendly, makes good therapy dogs.

  2. Awww... this furry cap for a dog looks so cute! :) I would also add photos from the The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe - the palace of the Witch :)
