‘I don’t believe this.’ Alison said. ‘It’s April and we’ve got three feet of snow outside!’
‘Shame it’s the weekend, could do with some time off.’ Dan replied.
‘Schools will be shut. Shops will be ransacked and deliveries delayed. What shall we do?’
‘Make a snow man of course! Come on.’
The pair donned their outdoor weather gear and boots and went outside.
It was pleasantly warm, so the snow wasn’t going to last very long and they intended to make the most of it.
The main road was a mass of white, not a single tyre track on it.
John and Rita waved from number 2.
‘Got the same idea!’
A snowball hit Dan dead centre of his back.
He turned to see Cyril at number 8 taking aim with another.
‘Oh no you don’t!’ Dan laughed, and scooped up a fistful himself.
‘Girls versus boys!’ yelled Alice joining in the fray.
Inside, fingers were frantically tapping on keypads and ipods.
All of the kids agreed that the white stuff had made their parents flip.

In November 2020, we lost our beloved Maggie who adopted us as a 7 week old pup in March 2005. We decided to have a photo put on canvas as we had for her predecessor Barney. We now have three pictures of our fur babies on the wall as we found a snapshot of Kizzy, my GSD when Hubby and I first met so had hers done too.
On February 24th 2022 we were blessed to find Maya, a 13 week old GSD pup who has made her own place in our hearts. You can follow our training methods, photos and her growth in my blog posts.
From 2014 to 2017 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat where we made strong friendships both on and off the water. We were close to nature enjoying swan and duck families for neighbours, and it was a fascinating chapter in our lives.
We now reside in a small bungalow on the Lincolnshire coast where we have forged new friendships and interests.
‘I don’t believe this.’ Alison said. ‘It’s April and we’ve got three feet of snow outside!’

Good one. The kids would be inside on their devices and adults playing outside.
We actually had this in 2008 and had some fun in the snow. It was great!
Must have been great.
Not too many kids where we lived then, and the adults were a bit iffy, but we didn’t care.
As long you have fun.
This was such a sweet read! Loved it.
Thanks Rachel. Us big kids like to play in the snow too!
For sure!
