Moments in Time: 18 January 2013


Today's random date selector landed on
18 January 2013

We had just had our first English Winter and were a little
disappointed that we didn't get a longed for 'White Christmas'
so were all happy when snow was forecast.

The 18th dawned and many schools were closed, but not ours.
I took the dog for a walk with no snow in sight. By the time we returned home
the snow had set in and our backyard was covered in white.

We learned that not all snow is suitable for building snowmen,
this stuff was like building a sandcastle with dry sand...
hence our 'snowblob'

The walkway to our dog walking field, clear that morning
had become a beautiful white tunnel.
