Snow day!!!

  

Our first snow day!

On Monday we woke up to a blanket of white outside our windows... it was breathtaking.

It snows on Mount Roland every Winter and it has, on occasion, snowed in Sheffield, but only a light flutter for a few minutes that never settles.

So, when we received a letter from the school on Friday of snowfall down to 100m above sea level and there may be a possibility of the closure of the school on Monday, we had a little chuckle.

 I have never been so pleased to be wrong!

It turns out that it was the coldest day with the heaviest snowfall (a whole 2 inches!) recorded in over 25 years.

My lovely G, the kids, the dog and I wandered around the garden

 and neighbourhood in awe-struck amazement.

We met some friends at the park 

and made snowmen

and snow angels (even our pup had a go at making one!!)

and of course there where many a snowball thrown. Absolutely necessary.

Mr G came home early to make hot cocoa on the wood heater for when we returned.  Perfection.

It continued to snow steadily for most of the day until it cleared in the afternoon, just in time to take Miss E to gymnastics.

BEST DAY EVER!!!!
