SNOW DAY 2009!!!

Today it has snowed. A lot. All schools in the county have been closed while extreme weather warnings were issued on the local news and radio. I made the stupid mistake of getting in my car and driving to my parent's cul-de-sac, which I hasten to add was not gritted. I lost control of the car and skidded while turning round a bend, and I ended up crashing into a parked car. This evening I am thanking God for fully comprehensive car insurance with a protected NCB!

This snowy weather may make me crash my car, slip over and hurt myself, freeze my arse off and put me in a pretty bad mood, but boy does it look beautiful.

I think photos can describe today better than words can....

And the river opposite:




Around Town:




And, finally, playing in the garden with 2 hyperactive boys:

(and this is Zach)


A snowman!!

As soon as I took that last photo, Zach said to me "Can we break the snowman now?" Are boys meant to be destructive, or is it just mine??!
