We had snow today on the south coast of England. This is my 3rd winter living here and it's never happened before. It was beautiful to wake up to (considering I didn't have a car to clean the snow off of).
On my way to the meet Dan at the gym, I wasn't enjoying the cold temperatures, icy walkways and wind in my face. That soon changed though when I passed several workman having snowball fights and loving every minute of it. It was a delight to watch grown men laughing and behaving like children in a winter wonderland they don't often get to experience. When Dan arrived for our appointment, his face was all pink from the cold as he walked up to me with bright eyes saying 'Isn't it great?!'
Coming from Jersey, I can't say I get terribly excited about the snow and wasn't sorry to see it was gone within a few hours, but I must admit that it was really nice seeing the people around me get such pleasure out of it.
My in-laws just left after a five day visit. I don't mind it being a five day visit, but then again, five days of your house not being your own is always a bit unsettling and although I don't look forward to their departure when they are here, I can't say I'm sad to have things go back to normal. As a treat for my son's birthday, we took him to the Museum of Natural History in London on Thursday. He chose to go because we took him last year (he's been crazy about dinosaurs since he was three years old). They give out adventure packs at the museum which consist of a back pack, safari hat, and binoculars with an adventure to follow during their visit. The back pack has clues in it to solve a mystery. Last year it had a dinosaur claw, a tooth and a sample of dinosaur skin he had to match up to one on display. He had a great time solving the mystery and even remembered which dinosaur it ended up being. Last year's trip was wonderful. We walked right in,
