Doodlecat's Homepage
Welcome to Doodlecat, where we enjoy the pleasures of life (with a slight bias towards the outdoors). This page is regularly updated with news and views plus information about any additions or changes to the various parts of the site. It acts as Doodlecat’s Blog too, so the odd rant considered opinion may pop up from time to time.
I would love to be able to say that Doodlecat is all my own work, but it isn’t. Much of the outdoors content is courtesy of the splendid people who participate in the annual TGO Challenge (there is a section entirely devoted to this unique event) and many others.
To help in tracking down that elusive morsel on Doodlecat, the search facility under the title bar above is tailored to help you find it, either on this home page (Doodlecat's Blog) all the rest of the site (Main Site) or – if all else fails - the internet!
So have a rummage around the old cat basket and enjoy your time with us!
She's Snow Angel!
After spending the last couple of days confined to barracks (redecorating kitchen for a few
GBPs) today was the first day since the blanket of snow descended to actually go out and enjoy it.
We were having a great walk through the Kings Forest, with snow depth averaging a comfortable 5", and nice and cold too, so it stayed light and powdery, when Miss W suddenly shouted "Let's make angels!"
This is an activity missing from my childhood memory. It's probably more of a girly thing, so not actively promoted at Dotheboys Hall, or wherever it was that I was confined during the 'growing up' phase. Anyway, I was unfamiliar with both the concept and the procedure. A demonstration, with instruction, was duly given.
"Lie on your back and swing your legs out sideways and wave your arms up and down - now roll your head from side to side - now get up".
Results below.
Miss W (above in the blue jacket) and Lord E (right) begin the creative process. Below: The finished creations.
It has to be said that the process is far less wearying than creating a snowman - or would have been had Miss W not been so delighted with the results that we had to repeat the procedure at every level area of snow that we came across.
Very level, this part of Suffolk.
There are many, many angels in the forest.
I have a frostbitten bum.

Tres excellent! I've never made them either, but I'll defo have a go when I next encounter a suitable quantity of snow.
What a lot you've got! We had some y/day but by this afternoon it was sleeting, and that turned to rain and washed most of the snow away.
:-(
Lots snow up in hilly Norwich. I reckon it will all melt by xmas eve. Fingers crossed it wont.

Snow angels are very often seen hereabouts (in Canada). Glad to hear you're enjoying the white stuff. Merry Christmas!
Hi Ali
Merry Christmas to you and my hairy brother.
Have you any pics of ice and snow sculptures around in all that Canadian whiteness?
