Snow

You may have heard that we had a bit of snow in the UK around Christmas/New Year time. Well, it's true - the whole country was covered and some places were snowed in for days. In Woodham we were snowed in for 3 days to be exact - assuming "snowed in" translates to school being closed. Getting a big dump of snow is jolly good fun: apart from the snowmen, sledging and snowball fights, there's the thrill of clearing your driveway with an old shovel and the excitement of driving to Tesco's on the slippery roads - scary but fun.

A few people in Aus have been worried it was too cold for us, but to be honest we didn't really felt it much at all - with the notable exceptions of (1) Lucy burying herself in the snow and discovering that it gets into your clothes and melts and (2) Keezee heading off to work in Perth, Scotland (where he was for a few weeks at the time) and noticing the car thermometer read -12. Anyway, enough of all that - as you'd expect we got the camera out and took a few pics.

But for starters, here's a quick vid of the general shenanigans round our way:



Of course there's the mandatory snowman to make...


... but keep an eye on the carrot.


Turned out quite well in the end don't you think?... just kidding!


A snow chair for relaxing.


Out the front of a nice house - not ours alas!



Waiting for the postie.


Caiti managed to sweet-talk her way into borrowing the neighbour's sledge...


... and then get them to drag her round the street all afternoon...
