Each December, Terry and I meet up with my
sister and brother-in-law to swap Christmas presents, catch up on gossip and
share a nice lunch. This year we decided to meet at Rosebourne a garden centre
on the outskirts of Andover.
After a delicious lunch and much laughter, we spent some time walking around looking at all the lovely things on offer, and found a group of snowmen and snowwomen. Is there a collective noun for a group of snow people? I can’t think of one although a family seems to fit the bill.
I had to smile when I saw these two. Can you feel the love?
I love the snowmen especially the last picture. If they were real people I wonder what he is saying to make her blush........

I would not be at all surprised to find he was whispering sweet nothings to her. :0) xxx
DeleteI can't think of a better way to celebrate today's prompt. These snow people are so adorable and cute. Love how you chose to honor this prompt, too.
ReplyDeleteI thought they were just lovely. I wanted to bring one home but didn’t think it was right to split them up!
DeleteThose snow people are gorgeous! Have a good week, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThanks Valerie, you too. x
DeleteI suppose the usual joke has to be told
ReplyDeletefor the 100th time...
"What's the difference between a Snowman
and a Snowwoman" ???
"Snowballs"..!!! :).
And, there does'nt seem to be a word for a
collection of snow people...except for Family,
or Army..Army sounds a bit silly! After all,
they don'nt do any harm...!
Anyway! Few Snowmen jokes on this cold and frosty
and wet morning....
What do you call a snowman in the summer?
A puddle...
What do you call a snowman in the tropics?
Lost...
What happened when the shy snow~girl ditched
her snow~boy?
She gave him the cold shoulder...
What do cool snowmen wear on their heads ?
Ice caps...
What do snowmen eat for lunch?
Ice-bergers...
Where do snowmen go to dance?
Snowballs...
How do snowmen travel to the snow-field?
By icicle...! :0)
I love all the snowman jokes Willie, especially the one about the shy snow girl.
DeleteThey couldn't be less like an army. Family is good. I thought we would all be out building snowmen this morning but no such luck! :0) x
This time of year is AMAZING for simply being out to enjoy the snow, the people, the art, the celebrations. Oh Barbara, it's fun to enjoy the Advent with my European friends; here in the states, we really don't participate in the Advent days, so it's wonderful to see you and others do as such. Enjoy every single day of celebration!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for coming over Anita, celebrating advent with friends from all over the world is fun.
DeleteIt was a lovely day and we would probably had bought a snowman or lady if the men had not been with us! The photos are great and love Willies jokes xx
ReplyDeleteYou are not wrong sister. :0) Willie has a joke for every occasion. xx
DeleteWhat an adorable snowman couple!
ReplyDeleteThey are and they really do look like a couple.
DeleteThose snowmen I like!
ReplyDeleteIt might just be me, but I've always found Frosty the Snowman to be a little creepy.
Hi Alex, I’ve never really given Frosty the Snowman much thought, but I will now, and I will be checking him out!
DeleteI am so enjoying your posts, Barbara! You and Terry find the most enchanting places. I really like the photos. I have a snow lady mug that I reserve for hot chocolate- the snow lady looks a bit like the one in your photos!
ReplyDeleteDear Colleen, thank you so much for sending me the link, I had not heard that song before.
DeleteMy sister and brother-in-law found the garden centre, but we will be going back as it truly is enchanting.
Your snow lady mug sounds lovely especially filled with hot chocolate.
Very sweet couple, indeed.
ReplyDeleteThey are just lovely, and I hope whoever buys them buys them both.
DeleteDear Barbara - I can feel the love. Those two snow people are the best. Hope your Christmas with family is wonderful. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteAww thanks Debbie I’m glad you can feel the love. Have a wonderful Christmas. Hugs Barbara
DeleteDefinitely a snow family. And how lovely to see a snow woman. They are rare.
ReplyDeleteI don’t remember seeing a snow woman before so I’m sure you are right about them being rare.
DeleteWhat a wonderful outing!
ReplyDeleteSnow people....I love it.
Have a purrfect week.
Thanks Sandra, you too.
DeleteA snuggle of snowmen perhaps?!
ReplyDeleteArilx
I really like that; it’s the perfect name for them! xx
DeleteI love snowpeople! These are just delightful. Do you live near Andover?
ReplyDeleteHi Darlene, we live in a little village in Somerset about an hour and a half away from Andover by car. My sister lives in Basingstoke so Andover is a convenient place to meet. Do you know Andover?
DeleteYes, we have very good friends who live there and we have visited them a few times. Should I plan to visit them, I'll let you know and maybe we can meet up. That would be so great.
DeleteI also have a friend who recently moved to Somerset. I must find out the name of her village. This may happen.
DeleteI would absolutely love that Darlene! I will be away for a while in the New Year but back in April. x
DeletePS We live at Henstridge, your friend might know it.
What a wonderful sight. Pity it's so hot here so they'd melt in no time (giggle). Thanks for sharing & take care.
ReplyDeleteI think you would be alright with these two. Hehe
DeleteHope your day is filled with warmth and good cheer.
ReplyDeletex
and I hope the same for you, dear Sandra. x
DeleteI feel the love!! So cute! Thanks Barbara! Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThe love was positively glowing around those two little snow people. I'm so glad you can feel it. x
DeleteI always bring the snow people out after Christmas and they give me cheer throughout the winter. These two had very happy faces!
ReplyDeleteI think that is a lovely idea Jeanie, it always makes me sad when I put the Christmas decorations away.
