Apologies if you've had enough of photos of snow. It's just still quite a novelty for me! Remember all that heavy snow that most of England had on Friday? Well, it fell on West Yorkshire last night.
This morning we woke up to six inches of fresh snow.
Bella's school was open so she, Angus and I walked there. It was totally silent and still, so different to a normal day. Just the occassional swishing sound of the odd driver trying to get along the slushy, slippery roads.
When it was time to collect Angus from nursery John and I took the sledge. Next to Bella's school there is steep playing field that is perfect for sledging. Angus loved it.
I had quite a lot of fun too if I'm honest.
Angus travelled home in style.
They closed Bella's school early and this afternoon that same hill was packed full with children, and the air was filled with the echoey sound of laughing and shrieking as they raced down the hill and dragged thier sledges back up again. There was something in the air, something joyful and celebratory.
If you don't have to be anywhere or do anything, if you can just give yourself in to the snow, then it's pretty amazing stuff.
Perfect fun. Tonight, I walked home at 'rush hour' but it was so much quieter than normal and the snow was glistening as the light fell. Magical xo
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of you on the sledge. There's something about snow. It has magical properties! xx
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous. Your pictures are beautiful. Snow is really magical.
ReplyDeleteI have loved the snow this year. The key is to wrap up warm and have fun. Love that photo of you sledging, you look like you're having a ball! Karen x
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. I can't get enough of taking pretty snow photos here either. The way the snow muffles sound and quiets everything is one of my favorite parts of all. It's like the world is sleeping.

Well I just assumed you got snow like this every winter! It's picture perfect, keep the pictures coming. I'm showing the kids the photos as I type and there's lots of "Wow", "Wish we lived there!". Enjoy the snow while it lasts :-)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant ... and such a lovely experience for the little ones ... I hope we get some soon or fingers crossed for some in the winter to come ... Bee xx
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! Doesn't the snow make everything look beautiful? My 10 year old just saw your photos and said "I wish it snowed here"!!
ReplyDeleteYou can never have enough pictures of snow. I have to go to work today after Friday and Monday off, I'm sure they'll be snowball fights at break time.
ReplyDeleteSnow brings out the child in all of us. Glad you're all having fun.
