Fun in the Snow



No digging could be done at the allotment this weekend as the ground was frozen solid. We had no snow, which was a great disappointment to the children, so we set off to higher ground to see if we could find some...


As you can see, we did! Just fifteen minutes drive in the car and we found enough snow for Finn to throw a few snowballs about. Finn really wanted to build a snowman, however after a few minutes in the snow he decided that his feet were too cold and went to sit in the car, leaving Ethan, my Mum and Dad, and myself to do all the hard work.


I think this is the smallest snowman I have ever made, however there wasn't really enough snow. Ethan wanted to go sledging but there wasn't enough for that. I'm really hoping we get at least one good snowfall this winter.

    1. Thank you. The mountains at the back form the south west edge of the Lake District. The tallest one is Black Combe. :)
