Let It Snow, Let It Snow!
I absolutely love winter! I love the crisp coldness that hits you as you walk out of the door. I love Christmas. I love walking the dogs over frosty fields. I also love snow but it is incredibly rare that we get a decent snowfall here… we did today! London experienced 20cm, which is the worst it’s snowed in England for 18 years. We only got 7cm in the Midlands but the sky looks as if it’s promising more as I’m writing this.
I work from home so I guess I don’t experience the problems that other people do when they head to work. I have the luxury of not having to get into a car if I don’t want to, although I had to take my husband to work this morning and that was a slightly hair raising experience! I’ve always dreamed of owning an old English cottage and taking the dogs out for a walk over snowy fields before returning home to a roaring fire. Maybe one day… but for now I’ll just be happy with watching the snow from inside a rented house that may not be mine but is home for now.
One last thought though - it never fails to amaze me that any snow at all brings the UK to an absolute standstill! Even with 3 days notice the councils couldn’t manage to sort out the roads. God only knows how the rest of the world copes! It does make you wonder but I’m just happy it snowed!
