It’s Snowing And Nigel Fills His Boots!

We woke up this morning after a very noisy, tempest tossed night ….. our corrugated roof has proved to be soooooo romantic and atmospheric  ….. and when we drew back the curtains we found that …….
……. everything had turned white, Nigel had had another wish from his Icelandic Ice Bucket List granted ……
…… no eruptions, just snow!!!!  The emotion in our room was robust but manly!
DSC00467But, there was no time to dawdle and look out of windows in a whimsical fashion, as Stuart said we would be seeing plenty of snow today and that we should make haste to a hearty breakfast …..
 
So Nigel stoically availed himself of the very useful room shoe horn to work his feet and accompanying blisters into his walking boots …. and made aforementioned haste to the breakfast room ……
 
…… where he tried buttermilk for the first time (a touch sour for his liking), with Cheerios' …..
….. home baked bread with continental meat, lamb pate and cheese … which is becoming his firm favourite …..
…. although I have had to sadly warn him away from being independent and carving his own bread from the chef’s breakfast loaf because I fear the knife could become a lethal weapon in his hands …..

….. and then of course there is breakfast salad, an idea Nigel is coming round to.  He certainly “filled” his boots, but then, he had a MAHOOOOOOOOSIVELY, MAHOOOOSIVE  day ahead ……

…… one where he would find himself sitting ……. …… on top of the world …..

At least he didn't fill his boots with snow.
Made it ma (mum) top of the world? Sounds intriguing.

So now a Winter Wonderland!.....bucket list dreams really do come true!.....love Mr. D's "top of the world,ma" reference......Nigel did James Cagney proud in his own top of world version!......You do need all that good food and calories in the Iceland cold.....Wow! Cheerios all the way on top of the world...don't care for buttermilk either; but it can be just right in certain recipes.....Love Dianne
