Jack Frost ........

Jack Frost has arrived early this year & the snow maybe close on his heels.
.
The little men are so excited about the prospect of snow & I must confess that I am too! But snow brings school closures & that I'm not so excited about so near to the Christmas hols.



But looking out the window at my beautiful crisp, frosty garden makes me look at the sky wondering will it, wont it !!

Trying To Stay Warm ........

My goodness it's brass monkey's outside !!

.

After all the excitement of the first snowfall of winter we are staying indoors trying to stay warm with lots of hot chocolate & the heating cranked right up.

.

Our village has been hit badly by this snowy weather, not a gritter lorry in sight for 3 days now & no milk or bread deliveries. Luckily I stocked up with both on Thursday but I have now run out of bread.

.

The little men have kept themselves amused most of the time & made this lovely snow scene using some white tissue paper & little wooden snowmen & train, bless them !!

.

.

Yesterday we did venture out to walk to our local shop for some more supplies, less bread & milk, & it was treacherous under foot. Coming back I slipped & fell over yet again, luckily only my pride was hurt.
.
Once back indoors I made hot drinks to thaw us out & brought down some blankets for us to snuggle under on the sofa while we watched Dumbo & The Grinch & of course we all fell asleep !!!

Let It Snow, Let it Snow, Let It Snow .......

Well for once the weather man was right !!!! We did indeed have snow, nearly 12 inches in fact. It started at around 10pm last night & then didn't stop until 8am this morning.

At one point it was an absolute blizzard with the wind howling & the snow coming down so thickly that you couldn't see anything.

I was woken up this morning at 5.10am by two little men running around shouting "It's snowing, it's snowing, Mummy get up ", so I was making us all hot chocolate at 5.30am, oh boy !!!

.
My neighbour was very brave & set off for work at the crack of dawn but was soon back as most of the roads around here were impassable & the A21 was closed due to a lorry jack knifing.

.

It was meant to be the last day of school today but school was closed so we had a fun snow day instead.

.

There are a lot of photo's in my post today, please humor me I just LOVE snow !!!

The little men wanted to walk to my mum's house, which is only 5 mins away, so we wrapped up & set off. It was a beautiful walk & yes I slipped & fell over, trust me ! Luckily I landed on thick snow so no bones broken.

There were some silly people trying to drive up the hill into the village but where slipping & sliding all over the place & we even saw a man riding a bicycle, I didn't fancy his chances !!!
