Let it Snow... Let it Snow... Let it Snow...



It was very cold here last week with temperatures topping a massive 4 degrees Celsius and then on Friday night it started to snow. We woke up on Saturday morning to Sabine running into our bedroom saying 'it snowed, it snowed!' and when we woke up the whole village was covered in white. This is a photo of our deck.


We had a fantastic weekend of snow angels and snow men and hot cocoa by the fire. Davy and the kids built a snowman but try as we might he just won't come to life like frosty did. Here's "snowy", our snowman.
There is still a lot of snow around and it looks just beautiful. We all feel very lucky to be here and hopefully we'll have a white Christmas. (Weird) It doesn't really feel like Christmas time....There'll be no champagne and nibbles on that deck!
Poor Davy gets pelted with snowballs whenever he is outside with the kids. I can see that getting old very quickly.


We're off to Disneyland in the next week or so, so that's the coming true of two big wishes....as a child I was desperate to go to Disneyland (as we all were I think) and as an grown up I've wanted to live somewhere where it snowed so I guess the message here is be careful what you wish for, it might just come true. (I've only been here 6 months and I'm already turning into a cheesy American!) later y'all xxx
