Snow!

Hey,

The snow has arrived! I mentioned snow and hail in the previous item but I had no idea that it was going to be a long-term thing (long-term as in a day).

Sadly I had to go to school and missed out on such childhood past-times as sledging, snowball-throwing and building a snowman to which I would donate all my hats, gloves and scarves. A shame, too, as I coud have spent the day taking some simply excellent photos. But no, I had to go to school. It snowed, rained and hailed almost all day but because of a really lame thing call 'Health & Safety' we could not go outside.

By the time I got home from school (slightly damp from a few snowballs - or should I say slushballs) it was 4 o'clock, the snow was melting, it was getting dark and raining heavily. But to no avail, I grabbed my phone and umberella, and set out on a half-hour walk aroud the park - to try and catch the last of the snow on camera. I will do the same thing tomorrow - promising it snows. Though maybe I shall take my bike so I can get down to the beach. The park was completely empty, except for a small family of ducks and a rather large crowd of muddy geese (some of them were actually half-duck, half-goose - if that's possible). My umberella was rather useless (It was from New Look) and it kept turning itself inside out against the strong winds. Everytime I put it right again I got yet another hole in my mittens. But I wandered around the park in search of some decent photos, most of which were blurry as there was rain on the screen and I was also fighting in a never-ending battle with my umberella. After 20 minutes I retreated, and went home for tea. I have posted up the better few of my photos at the end of the post. I have also added a photo of Toffee in the snow from last November.

Enjoy the snow (if you have any),
