We woke up to a fairy-tale street on Wednesday morning - it had been snowing the night before and for once the snow had actually stuck. Walking the girls to school, and then on to work, was quite magical. This was what our morning looked like ...

Our house, from outside ...



Snowy street near Sophie's school ...



My walk to work takes me through the park.





The playing field was full of people making snowmen and playing before work and school.



It hardly ever snows here in the south-east of England, so when it does, it is a real event. The kids at work were thrilled too; lots of snowball play and snow-people being built. It was quite endearing, seeing those great big seventeen and eighteen year olds reverting to childhood proper.

It snowed on and off until this afternoon, when it changed to our more usual rain. And, sadly, that is probably it for snowy weather for us until next winter.
