Snow Day!

Woke up on Friday morning to find the town had been sprinkled with a layer of snow. Hurray! Shortly afterwards I found out that school was closed, so my daughter and I wolfed a bacon sandwich down (well, it was snowing! Energy needed....), donned scarves, hats, gloves, boots and warm coats and ventured outside.  There were few people about apart from a few hardy commuters so we strolled along the High Street pelting each other with snowballs and headed for the seafront.  Here, the jetties and beach were transformed by snow and looked beautiful.  We didn't stay out long, just enough to enjoy the snow before it got trampled to slush and to admire the scenery.  When we got home it was time for hot chocolate and radiator hugging.  My daughter then went out for the rest of the day, building snowmen with friends, having snowball fights and sledging, making the most of the weather before the inevitable thaw.
