Snow Day - January 2013

Please let me apologise to those of you in Canada, Austria, Scotland, Alaska - any country where you are used to lots of snow.

We in the South of England are not.  We are a bit pathetic in snow.   We had a couple of inches on snow and the buses ground to a halt. the school shut. What can I say?

So when you look at your own 6 foot of snow please don't laugh when you see my photos.

 

I thought I would try some macro shots but I was not too successful as either the branches or my hands kept wobbling. 

And then there was snow...

After me saying that it was back to work and 6 weeks to half-term..the snow came. Which was fun for my daughter and me the first 2 days as we went sledging. Then it got colder and icy and not so much fun.

But back to work and school for us today. I have to walk to work and then walk to the schools to pick up the children who go to my after school club (well not mine but where I work). I am wearing my big snow boots so should be safe.

All this snow has made me long for skiing holidays in Austria so hopefully we will be going in 2011. We will have to buy a new sledge as it got a little bit broken when Paul and I went down together on it. Whoops.
