Two minutes past midnight and I am still online answering letters....The new year is here and we've left the noughties and a brand new phase has begun.
And, to mark this landmark year change, we have the worst winter recorded for 30 years lol, cool! The snow has affected us all, the cold had caused anything from snowball fights for the children to death for the poor unfortunate whom have truly suffered at the hands of Jack Frost.
I like to look at snow, all the trees look like a postcard, and everywhere looks pretty, even the places that in normal view are an eyesore, but.....looking and living with are different....enoughs enough now....I have taken the pretty snaps of the garden, we've built the once in 30years snowman, we've had a snowball fight and got soaked wet through in ice cold snow.... But now it's time for you 'Mr.Jack Frost' to thaw and disappear...leaving me with a driveway full of gritty sand to brush up and two heavy full bags of sharp building sand in my boot!
I am no party pooper, I like the kids to play, I like to play myself, but when I am forced to trek a three mile round trip to buy bread, milk and a few necessities on foot, through the thick snow, armed with a two year old daughter, whose buggy couldn't take the strain, and a teenage daughter whom couldn't stay on her feet....I say '' come on, enoughs enough!!''
Will this snow ever go??
Thoughts and prayers go to the injured/harmed or fatalities caused by the recent brutal winter of 09/10
