Winter Wonderland!


The snow started falling in Brighton at about 10.30 last night, and within about half an hour it looked like a Christmas card scene outside our windows. I went down to the front door and peeked out - the street was rapidly disapearing under the flakes. I hadn't seen snow fall and settle so fast in...well, I can't remember when!

Within minutes, myself, Phil, Barnaby, and Alfie and Bob who'd come over for the evening had thrown on coats, scarves and gloves and were outside in the street playing. It was amazing! Snow releases pretty much everyone's inner child so there were snow angels, snowball fights and general silliness aplenty! There was something incredibly magical about being out late at night in the falling snow, being some of the first people to walk across the park and play. We headed down to the Level and ran around like kids in Narnia! Speaking of which, the Park Crescent had pretty much turned into C S Lewis' imagined land - stunning. This time of year always reminds me why I love living here so much :)

The snow is still here this morning, but it is slowly melting in the winter sun. Luckily, Phil took some snaps and video with his iphone - and here it is!

The photo of you and the lamp post is brilliant - just like Narnia! That video is also HILARIOUS. :D

Katja - hehe, thanks :) The caption for that on FB is "Doing a Mr Tumnus - apparently"!! Barnaby got covered in snow in the skate park but he wouldn't stop trying, even after Phil had stopped filming him!! xxxx

Jack - :D Miss you too honey, will do if I can! xxx
