Snow - Y E S!

Sorry, I just do so love the snow and I was a bit fed up last week when we didn't get any.  As it happens, we certainly have it now.  Not huge amounts (we can still see the tips of the grass), but it's enough to keep me very happy.

Today we snowballed and made a snow man, which later turned into a snow dog.  I provided the two chunks of snow, Ben did the carving - pretty good I think.

Poppy seemed to love it all too, playing snow ball catch - not too much I hasten to add as eating huge amounts of cold snow isn't, I guess, that good for dogs!

Living in an area that's completely flat isn't particularly fabulous for sledging, so after lunch we drove up to the marshes where Katie and Ben were able to use the sleigh down the small banks by the marsh edge.  It was freezing by now, and the wind had seriously picked up, with snow clouds on the horizon.

We headed back home to the warmth (warmth?  It was 2 degrees in the kitchen) and we've had an afternoon of big snow flurries - brilliant.


More snow to come I hear!
