Snow!

Yes, the entire country is in uproar, it's all over the news, everybody has heard about the three inches of snow. But I'm still going to blog about it.

I love the snow! It makes me feel like a kid, it transforms the world, making beauty everywhere. Walking through the streets, seeing the snowflakes falling down, casting tiny shadows in the whiteness, is so life affirming, so peaceful. It is impossible to be unhappy in the snow.

I'm sure if we lived in Canada or Norway or some other permanently snowed in place, then it would not be at all exciting. But this is England so we have to be more enthusiastic about this novelty weather.

We made a giant snowball and named it Jeremiah. It started off as a snowball, then became more of a snowbean, then a snowprawn, then the prawn wanted to be a real boy, and its wish came true, and we had a snowbaby which we smashed to pieces on the ground.
