Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!

How exciting, with all this global warming I never thought I would get to see snow like this again in England, it is lovely that the kids are getting to see it aswell. This is the heaviest snow we have had in this country in 18 years, yes 18 years that means I was the tender age of 18 last time it snowed like this and I'm getting that old I can't even remember it.

Snowmen are popping up all over the place, kids are skidding around and getting soaked through and loving every minute of it. It hasn't stopped snowing all night and it's 1.10pm now and it's still going, they estimate another 2.5 cm over the day and then again tonight, but by then it will be freezing and lethal. I have no plans to go anywhere today, Manny has just come back in from work the weather is too bad for them to work so his 5.30am start was a waste of time, never mind at least he's home safe, accidents happen a lot in this weather with some of the fools out on the roads, it's always a worry.

I bet it is gorgeous down at the old Churchdale Cottage, I do miss that old house and when the weather was like this it was fantastic. Dad built us a sledge one year and the canal was frozen over so we had hours of fun skidding up and down it. Oh the good old days, I'm not going to get all sentimental just going to remember what a fantastic childhood Sophie and I had and how lucky we were to have parents that devoted every waking hour to us, and of course Mum still does, don't know how she does it, we are still both demanding and we've got Manny, Jordan and Lauren too.

So enjoy the snow piccies it will probably be the last ones I ever take in good old Blighty.
