Sunday 1st February 2008

What a lovely slow lazy day....the snow has arrived and the children have been out in the garden making shelters and enjoying this new experience. It was lovely to sit round the table enjoying a beautiful roast pork with 4 veg and roast potatoes (I really pulled out all the stops) and watch the snow falling outside our window - such a surreal experience and I have been driving Andrew and Simon mad with my constant chatter about how awesome the snow is and how lucky we are.

I have been amazed by how much snow will actually have to fall in order to cover the ground completely and give us that lovely white landscape, but I am hoping it will fall again overnight and we will awake to a white wonderland in the morning.

Si and Cuz are sitting watching Black Adder (my gift to Si for his birthday), Nick is asleep upstairs in his cot (poor little thing has such a bad cold his nose is constantly running) and Meg and Phil are in the conservatory playing playstation as I type this and we are all about to stop and enjoy a lovely toffee pudding and tea before Cuz heads back on the train to London....a stunning way to spend a Sunday.

UPDATE: Well toffee pudding turned into hours of chat about Pedal Studio and some developments we think would work well on the website and guess what, when I opened the door to take Andrew back to the station it was white white white, so another FIRST for me.....actually driving in the snow, so beautiful that when I got home I simply HAD to grab my tripod and set off round the estate - unfortunately my freezing fingers eventually forced me back inside, but how lovely to be safe enough to walk around alone at night with my camera and tripod and to actually be photographing snow.....sigh.....a perfect day!
