Sneefal

Probably spelt wrong, but there you go!

Well we are covered in about a foot of snow now! So much snow fell last night to cover what we had already - I can't see us ever getting out again!!!

The school is closed, I have used 3 days holiday so far - they have run out of grit - journeys are taking 4 times as long as they should - kids are going a bit stir crazy!!

I am enjoying the extra time off with the children, there have been arguements and misunderstandings, fights and cross words, but there have also been snuggles, songs, movies and cosy dinners. There is more good than not so good.

Standing at the back door last night with it open and watching the huge clumps of snow fall in the garden, I am always amazed at the pure silence that comes with the snow. How wonderful it must be to live in a country better equiped to deal with this kind of weather. Its unfair to be cross with the UK for not being prepared - I don't want the council spending my tax money on extra grit and snow plows for this kind of snow every 30 years! I say sit back and enjoy! Use a couple of days holiday if you can, and just have a few days where you don't see anyone else, you just rely on your own company and those of the ones you love.
