Pretty Snow (again)

We woke up yesterday morning to four inches of snow, very pretty! Toby obviously couldn't remember snow from earlier this year as he looked amazed and rather confused by it. Beth definitely could and wanted to get straight out in it. So, before 7:30am we were all wrapped up and ready to slide . . .

The snow's too icy to build a snowman - it just sticks to your gloves or crumbles away so instead we got the sledge and headed off round the village. It was very picturesque though a bit chilly. Toby was very happy to be pulled along, quite a change from January when he would not sit on the sledge for anything and we had to endure painfully slow walks to get anywhere.

We had a few runs down a hill in the village - probably not the best one since it was a road (though hardly any cars) and that satisfied the kids. We'll have to look for a better hill in one of the fields.

The snow's still here today and is likely to be around for a while so we'll be able to get a bit more fun out of it though not so much with Beth being in school and it getting dark by about 4pm. I'm sure it'll be enough as the temperature here this morning was -7c/20f.
