I must admit I got a little bit excited about the ‘Beast from the East’ - we haven’t had any snow to speak of in Brighton for about 7 years. Things started well, with a decent amount of snow on Monday night, and it carried on with further showers on Tuesday. It’s all a bit anti-climactic now though - a base layer of snow that’s not good for snowman construction or sledging, and not much more likely over the next couple of days by the looks of things.
Still, we got the chance to introduce my daughter to snow for the first time on Tuesday morning. She enjoyed it for about 20 minutes, threw a snowball, built a tiny snowman, quickly got bored and hasn’t been outside since…
This was us yesterday morning. The wind has since blown all the pretty snow off the branches, but the garden is even more covered. Slushy, windy and grey here in London
This was yesterday, nice and sunny. Now it is grey, windy and still snowing. First “proper” snow for my daughter, too. She announced that she wanted to make a snow angel (wherever that came from), but quickly realised that snow is cold and wet. We still had some fun though walking to nursery and treading on virgin snow.
You guys have it so much worse than us here in St. Evenage! Not much more than a few cm of snow here. But it’s snowing as we speak so maybe we’ll catch up with you yet…
The snow did make a little cameo in the background of our Instagram post yesterday:
Slightly off topic, but every time I look at a photo of a selection of TWS wines, I feel like I’m back in the schoolground looking through a batch of Panini football stickers: ‘Got, got, need, got, need…’
Chateau Lacarelle Beaujolais will be here tomorrow (weather permitting) - that wine is a lot of fun
Global warming, this is the fourth winter out of five with snow and we were told in 2005 there would be no more, now we are told this is global warming as well, yesterday in the garden.
The view round here yesterday. Today is windy, grey and snow is drifting. No roads passable for the time being but we’re warm and have full cupboards (and wine racks).
