Thoughs of you that have been following my recent blogs on my new projects in the garden will know that i have been raring to go with digging, planning, researching and buying plants…well i had planned to really break the back of the digging this week, kept the week clear so that every afternoon while Brooke is at school i would get a good couple of hours out there…well that was the plan…….
….but this moring we woke up to this…
ofcourse Brooke was really excited, she has never seen snow quite like this before, we have had a few flurrys here and there, and just enough to make a snowman last year at Easter! but this really is the real thing!
and bless her she had been waiting by the back door ready to go out in it since 6am, so once the sun was up…well sort of, out we went.
this is about 8am this moring and the snow was approx 8-10" then, as you can see little Brookie is nearly knee deep..
and then onto the important stuff of snowman building….
Brooke much prefered it when i was doing this bit as it left her hands free to throw snow all over me while i was bending down!
Nearly done…
Now that is a funky snowman if ever i saw one Brooke…
…is it just me or can you kind of hear the theme tune to the film ‘Staying Alive’ in your head when looking at it lol

Thanks all, and the snow seems to have stopped, and it looks like the sun may even try to get out today, so we may make a friend who knows.

Brooke must have been impressed with the deeper snow.
Last time it snowed, not quite enough to make a snow man!
You didn't draw a plan for this one ~ it would have been a white sheet of paper Lol.

Thanks everyone for you kind comments, funky snowman has now become a bit lop- sided, looks like he is falling backwards. the sun has been out since yesteday, but the snow is still at least 6" thick, so i think it will be a while before he completely melts.

I actually remember wearing this wig on a night out with 5 friends, all donning same pink hair, who would have thought it would end up on a snowman, still suits his complexion far more than it did mine! Glad you two enjoyed the snow, xx
