Snowmen

Dan and E build snowmen, and explore the snowy garden.

Snow's Different in the Day

Birds perch atop a snow covered chimney.

No washing out on our road today.

Snow can make the world very black and white, but there is always some colour.

Snow's Back

Having a day off during half term and went into town with the boys. We walked back and just as we were getting home it started snowing. It is still snowing now at 9:30pm. Maybe we can go sledging this weekend.

More Fun in the Snow

It's been freezing all week, we've had plenty of snow, and for once the snow did not thaw before the weekend which means... we could go sledging.

Met up with the Nats and the J&HKs at the Cropston entrance to Bradgate Park, and must have played for at least 2 hours. It snowed on and off, and when it wasn't snowing we had glorious sunshine. A perfect day for it.

We had no sledge so I made one before we left from scrap wood. It was based on the design of a successful one my Dad made. We nailed Corex (the stuff 'for sale' signs are made of) to the underside of the runners and that made run nice and smooth.

The only real upset was when it was home time.

Enjoy the pics.

Heading up the path with E in tow. We met up at a less busy and more gentle slope just before you get to the gift shop.

Heading up the hill. If you want to go the whole hill you need to aim for a gap in the wall on the way down. Here J and JK head up the hill for a race. E is the tiny dot top right and Uncle N is already at the top.

A tired E heading home along the path.

The weather outside is frightful...

Anyone in the UK won't have failed to hear about the snowfall in the week running up to Christmas. Where we live was no exception. Sadly it was a little too sparse to really enjoy and the follow-up "heavy snow" predicted by the BBC for our postcode didn't happen.

Here's how it looked.
