SNOW

This is my first time overseas and, as I have also never been skiing or really seen proper snow (I did see snow at the top of Mount Wellington in Tasmania, but as I was riding a mountain bike through it, it wasn't a very comfortable experience) it's fair to say I was more than a bit excited when it snowed here last Sunday.

Luke and I were out for a slow Sunday. Luke had been sick all week and it was his first time out of the house in about 4 days. We were well rugged up and planned on spending a cozy time in a cafe with a nice chai latte and a pile of Christmas cards for folks back home. It was already a lovely winter's day plan and then along came the snow! We were sitting by the window, writing Christmas cards and we looked out and noticed that it was snowing-how exciting! Well, it snowed and snowed and got heavier and heavier and before long, the streets were blanketed in white and the world was a winter wonderland.... just beautiful! This is what winter in the northern hemisphere is all about!

Unfortunately, we were without our camera so we'll have to wait until next time before we can take some pictures. We did however, have an impromptu snow-fight (Luke has far better aim than I do, I'll have to work on that!) and I'm sure we'll build a snow-man at some point too.

We've got our fingers crossed for a white Christmas but really, I think I'll be excited by snow no matter when it decides to fall!
