15 minute tonic #CountryKids

The week leading up to the end of the school holidays we still had snow on the ground here. I know a lot of people were the same. Beginning to wonder if spring was ever going to show up. The temperatures had hit a bit of the dizzy heights of 9degrees earlier in the week and we all breathed a sigh of relief as we thought that this was it, spring was finally on its way.

But then we were plunged into freezing temperatures and snow flurries all over again. I get so frustrated with the lack of flexibility snow affords me for getting outside, my kids can usually just about cope with the school run before they start saying how cold they are and begging to go in. But after school one afternoon after I had, had a lousy day (dont ask) we piled into the car and took the dog for a walk.

Surprisingly no-one moaned and we bowled around a little local park in about 15 minutes, just long enough to jumps off and on some logs, run after the dog a few times and leave smiling with red rosey cheeks. Then home for a quick hot chocolate to warm up and maybe a little bit of a pick me up for me!!! *cough*

Now then, come on spring, get your best clothes on we are more than ready for you!

    At one time we did want a little snow here in Cornwall, especially when everyone else seemed to have their fair share; but now like most we just want Spring to arrive and stay. Snow does make for lovely pictures with your children and as you say cold but it cheered you all up! Hope things improved at work and thanks for linking up to Country Kids.
