Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow....

This was the view from our bedroom window this morning....it started to snow at 7 last night and has hardly stopped since! As I write, I'm looking out on a new blizzard, yellow-grey skies & footsteps filling up again on the path below.

I must admit that, as someone who now works from home, I really love snow days. And we haven't had weather like this for years and years. I was talking to an elderly neighbour this morning and she can only recall more snow falling in this town in 1947 & 1962....so it's a pretty rare occurrence! I've checked in with my parents, who live high up in the hills and always have much more extreme weather than we do - they're fine, and my youngest sister is staying with my nephew William, so they're warm, dry & well-stocked! Alice really adores it and we've been out several times this morning...she dives into the biggest drifts, pushing her nose in and 'pronking' about like a Spring lamb!

I know that it won't be here for long, so while it is I'm going to savour it. I've put a shoulder of lamb to slow-cook for Paul's supper, made a pot of coffee & I'm settling in for a Frasier afternoon.....enjoy your wather too, whatever it's like! It's one of the few things we can do nothing about, after all! xox
