As Christmas draws near many will be hoping that the warnings of more heavy snow to come in some areas turn out to be wrong.
Many decided to remain at home rather than attempt what could be a treacherous journey to work. The Highways Agency has advised motorists to check conditions before venturing out
A blanket of snow fell on Stonehenge in Wiltshire...
And the beach in Weston-Super-Mare also resembled a polar landscape.
Frost clings to the statue of Lord Alfred Tennyson as freezing fog surrounds the tower of Lincoln Cathedral
Severe transport disruption caused by the UK's freezing weather continues for another day. Heavy snow on the M5 motorway in Somerset caused treacherous conditions for drivers between Weston-super-Mare and Exeter
After several days of non stop rain, and continued rain forcasted for the next week, why, oh why do I not own a pair of these boots? Maybe it is because I always thought that you needed them to muck out the stalls or to be this woman, on her daily walks around Balmoral in her kilts.
But now that we are having le deluge of biblical proportions I wish that I had stepped up to the Hunter boot brigade and left my Aquatalias in the closet.
Yeah, it really was hot yesterday. Palm Springs or Las Vegas style hot. After one of the coolest summers on record we finally got the big heat. Officially it reached 113 degrees although this photo from the LA Times shows 121 degrees.
Obviously there were a couple of options for staying cool
And no this wasn't my option (picture snagged from google, I only wish that this was me frolicking on the beach) The other option was to dress in summer clothes and stay inside an air conditioned office, which I happily did.
Here's the photo that I tried to post yesterday but my computer was having no part of it. (Ah... little does my hijacked virus ridden hard drive know, but it is being replaced by a newer, faster, and more powerful hard drive this coming weekend, my new trophy computer if you will) But I digress. Here is the estate jewelry that I wanted to show you.
I love this necklace because it is reversible, so in the photo I was wearing it on the reverse side with white enamel instead of the dressier sapphires. This is a great piece because it can be worn with both casual and dressier styles. And, did I mention that it is Garrard.
And, a gold wire bracelet, a vintage classic from Gucci.
I'm pretty sure that I had the exact same style bracelet made out of elephant hair when I was 11 years old and the epitome of all things cool, or so I thought. I like it better in 18K.
The weather has changed already. There are clouds from the ocean this morning and our dry burning heat is over. We are expecting only 90 degrees today.
Why is it cold, dark, damp and gloomy in mid May in LA? I'm trying hard to figure out how justify a business retreat for Team Beladora to a spa in Indian Wells.
