Fun in the snow !

Well, they didn't get the White Christmas that they were dreaming of, but they've been making up for it in the last week !

There's a road under there somewhere !

Juliette and Pierre have been fascinated by the icicles they keep pulling off the parked cars !

"Look, Mum, the water's frozen" !

Look at her feet - you can see how deep the snow is !

This is the main road that my bus should be coming down at 7am tomorrow - I'm hoping I'll be snowed in !!

We totally failed to make a snowman, or even a snowball - it's totally powdery snow that won't stick together however hard you squash it - so we used a makeshift sledge.

Our Camouflage Company bag/mat was already used as a sledge last time we got loads of snow, but this year we made a deluxe model - I added an old dog lead to the front to make it easier to pull along and we used a pushchair liner/footmuff on top to avoid getting a wet bum when you slide off the back (which is half the fun !).

If I do manage to make it into work tomorrow, I'll be cursing the snow, but today it was great fun !

If you've been getting out and about despite the snow, you might like to join in with the Country Kids from Coombe Mill link-up too (see below)
