[Snowy] Adventure of the Week!

This weekend our lush green fields, sprawling urban cities and quaint little English towns were all graced with a smattering of snow, a white blanket caressing the landscape and bringing the mundane and the ordinary to a grinding halt. For some, this was a hindrance, for others, and I hope this includes you, a blessing. (I know the Surrey school kids were particularly pleased that the snow had finally come...) Despite the snow being a tad late for a white Christmas, it certainly didn't stop me racing up to the common with my friends - sledges in tow and grins on our faces - for some chilly winter larks. And although this scuppered any plans of travel for this little explorer, the snow was definitely a welcomed opportunity to kick back, relax, and have a bit of fun! Here are a few photos from my weekend antics:



The local ponds choc-a-bloc with shivering swans and seagulls, all posing nicely in this magical scene.


Frozen wetsuits, boots and gloves on our washing line from our latest surf trip...might need to defrost them before the next!

Bunting from the summer got a wintry make-over.

Smile!

Footprints in the snow.

Over the hill and far far away...

How have you been enjoying the weather? Day off or a right nuisance? Let me know what you've been up to!

  1. I love the first day, when the snow is so white and pristine. But after that, the muddiness gets to me and becomes a nuisance, haha~
