Snow

Well the forecasted snow arrived here over night and with it came a phone call early this morning to tell Darren that some of the main roads into his school were blocked so he got the day off!

Izzy kept waking up last night, very unusual for her, and I was shattered from being up and down all night so I got a bit of a lie in!

When we got up though we did wrap up and take Isabelle out in the snow for a little while.

She seemed a bit unsure of it to start with but curiosity got the better of her and she was soon picking it up, running round in it and sniffing it!

All that's left now is a forlorn pile of slush with a few patches of snow still lingering so I am glad we got out and took photos earlier. Ialso snapped this picture which if I was to call it anything would be called determination! We had our front driveway dug up, concreted and inprinted with just a couple of small flower beds left which Darren put weed membrane on then gravelled the top of with just a few dwarf confiers along the front. Somehow some of our spring bulbs survived and found a way through the edge of the membrane, through the gravel and through the snow and their shoots were peeping out at me today! It's not a very pretty picture with the car parking area in the background and no colour but the shoots are there!
