The Great British Avalanche - Part 2...

Remember in my last post I mentioned we weren't getting much snow?

Well....now we have plenty - and it's still falling!!

I'm sat at my computer on what is supposed to be a placement day, however myself and my coursemates couldn't actually get there because of the snow! Even though the school was open, the roads were pretty dangerous, so we tried, but ended up staying in the warm.

No doubt I will probably have a snowball fight later on though - on Saturday I had a 22-person game of 'capture the flag' which included throwing snowballs!! I got hit quite a few times, and I still ache, but it was a LOT of fun! The biggest snowball fight I have ever had, in fact! :D

What's more, we just got an amber weather warning for snow over today and possibly part of tomorrow too, so here's hoping for deep snow :3

Even though I'm sniffling due to a nasty cold that's crept up on me, the best thing about going out in the snow isn't just the crunching of it under your wellies, or having snowball fights, or even building snowmen.

It's when you've just come back into the warm and you have a steaming mug of hot chocolate waiting for you, as well as a coal fire that you can sit in front of to warm up, and you can look out of the window to admire your handiwork.

Shame I'm not in Nottingham for all this, really...

    1. It was really good fun! Mum says you might get a little more - the dining room outside door cuts the snow on the decking, it's that deep! :P x
