It's Snowed!

Yay! A couple of days late, but it's finally arrived and despite it only being a smattering of the stuff, it don't half make it feel like winter is here proper rather than all this faffing around it's been doing with rain and such like.

I remember when I was a kid it snowed every Christmas, and you could pretty much guarantee that it would snow so much the village we used to live in would be cut off from the rest of the world for about a week whilst we tried to dig ourselves out, and everyone else tried to dig themselves in. Ah, those were the days - the days where you had feet of snow rather than inches, and certainly enough to make a yeti sized snowman!

We are off to see Phil's family today, and even though our estate road is really slippy once we get on to the main streets the roads are all clear and fine, and so we arrive at our destination just before lunch, which means we've knocked up 4 separate Christmas dinner occasions between us both so far this month - not bad going eh? :)

It's nice too see all of Phil's siblings together too, and it shows that it doesn't matter how old you are, you always end up treating your brothers and sisters like they were 10 again, I do it with mine too :) I guess you never really grow up after all!

We also get some nice pressies from Phil's Mum and Dad, including an Air plant, which apparently needs very little attention to maintain, which is handy cos we only do cactus here :)

At around 4 we set off to come home, what with not really knowing what the weather will be doing and because Phil has to work tomorrow, and get back at around 6 with both of us being knackered. So the rest of the evening is spent doing not a lot of anything, which suits us both just fine :)
