#MySundayPhoto – Wheres My Snow?!

According to the Met Office we were promised a snowy Sunday, we may have had the odd flurry or two throughout Saturday but nothing to write home about. As always for this area the Met Office didn’t seem to have a clue as their forecast altered by the hour, it was more use looking out of the window than checking an app!

I was half expecting to be taking the kids out on their sledges, as it was we got nothing other than a dusting which may have looked pretty but was pretty useless for the kids! The temperatures have plummeted to minus three which of course is precisely when I happened to have misplaced my favourite, fluffy gloves and am a car down leaving one of us out in the cold on foot.

Oh how I love the winter, well I would if we actually got some of the white stuff to have a play in, that and if it wasn’t such crappy timing for zero temperatures. We may not have snow but we certainly have ice, I am sure of this as I literally skated across the car park at work today. Thankfully I maintained my balance, my dignity and my temper before heading home to defrost by the fire.

“Snow can wait
I forgot my mittens
Wipe my nose
Get my new boots on
I get a little warm in my heart
When I think of winter
I put my hand in my father’s glove
I run off
Where the drifts get deeper
Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown
I hear a voice
“Your must learn to stand up for yourself
Cause I can’t always be around”
He says
When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I’ll always want you near
You say that things change my dear”
