First Snow

Today we woke up to a little winter wonderland.  For inexplicable reasons all of their own the children saw fit to roll in it like little Snowy Slugs, they got very wet but I guess they had a good time.

The garden looked really pretty, especially the chalet, Tom pointed out that if it was the UK tiny creatures would probably still be picnicking on the veranda saying things like 'Ooh, it's a little chilly out here today' and 'I'm ever so glad I put on 2 pairs of socks'.

What festive weather for stir up Sunday.  I used up approximately 10% of my candied peel in the Christmas Pudding so I guess I'll be making Christmas Cake and my own mincemeat too, or possibly very high end, labour intensive suet cakes for the birds.
