its actually very telling that we as a nation are not used to getting snow because within hours of the snow falling nearly everyone in the UK facebookers were commenting on the snow or uploading images, myself included!
We had a quick sledging trip to the a nearby hill and i realised that 5 kids/2 adults into snow gear takes a looong time. We had this down to an art in France when we skied earlier this year…we are clearly out of practice.
and also its a good deal harder to convince children who are, shall we say, a bit clothing phobic. That ski wear is needed when you are not actually going skiing…
my sweet little 8 year old. He is having a tough time of it lately and it is so good to see him smiling and enjoying himself. He is always happy to pose for a picture, but not always happy in himself at the moment. which i keep telling myself is normal and okay and he has to work his stuff out but….you mumma's out there understand.
I once heard someone say on the radio ….'you are only ever as happy as your most unhappy child' and i think that has a lot of truth in it. Happy thoughts and prayers appreciated for my boy
the trees look so incredible with the snow. I love how it transforms bare branches, following every single little ledge and detail in the bark. Just incredible.
and sledging with big sister. She lasted about 15 minutes before her feet obviously got cold and she started crying. Welly boots are not the greatest insulator. She is smiling behind that dummy though!
Its now im kicking myself for not getting snow boots for the kids…and if i went to get them now there would only be huge man sizes left or id pay a small fortune for each pair.
The truth that is supply and demand….
See i do remember something from my business degree *chuckle*
