SNOW DAY!!!

We had snow. Lots of it!
Sunday is when it started to snow but I didn't think it was going to last and couldn't believe it when I got up Monday morning at 6.30am and everywhere was white.

It was a wonderful experience living opposite the park and seeing the glorious views. I just had to get out there and do some proper photography with my camera.

The Snow started to ease off towards the end of Monday and Bret came home very late from school, soaking wet because he had been playing snowball fights with his mates.

We thought that was the last of the snow and it was all but gone Wednesday night so imagine our surprise when we got up Thursday to see about 3 or 4 inches of snow! It was so bad this time that just about all Schools in Derby were closed (including Bret's) and even Bill's college was closed. So lots of fun in the snow for all kids young and old.


I had to go into town in the morning and it was pretty much deserted. walking into town was a bif of a pain as it was all wet and slushy but the paths around the estate were still a few inches deep. Luckily my trainers stood up to the wet and my feet stayed bone dry.

I stayed the rest of the day inside in the warm. The kids came back a couple of times to change out of wet clothing for clean dry stuff and back out again.

I can't believe that proper Winter has arrived. We haven't had so much Snow in 20 years. It makes me feel like watching "The day after Tomorrow" again...

Let it Snow, let it snow, let it snow

I woke up this morning and on the radio they were talking about Snow. It was snowing in various parts of the country. I opened up the curtains and no snow here. Then as we were sat here eating breakfast Bret suddenly said "Hey, It's snowing" and sure enough it was...Great big flakes.
It carried on snowing for about half an hour and I took this photo from my window as it was starting to get light.

As the morning took hold the snow died off but it looked great outside. I love real snowy winter scenes it makes it feel like Christmas...

It began to rain later and the snow is all but gone now, you would never know it had been snowing at all.
