Snowy Snow Time

A snowy view from the Attic this morning...

...the day has been bright and sunny and absolutely breathtaking.

I walked the long way to school this afternoon, just for the sheer pleasure of wearing my wellies and walking through the soft powdery snow.

I turned right at the end of my street and walked briskly up to the top of the park. The sun was very low in the sky and the light was absolutely magical. One or two mums sledging with Littlies, much quieter than at Christmas last year.

Along the canal towards school, looking forward to collecting my Little People and bringing them home so they could try out their brand new sledges. Lots of excitement as you can imagine.

It's been a special kind of day, the first snow of the season is always a little magical don't you think?

Ooh Lucy, what a drop dead gorgeous view from your attic. I am officially jealous......
We've had snow here, once when I was 6y.o and then 40 years later!
Long time between snowball fights.

This pictures take me back to times I've lived in the UK and Europe. Makes me homesick for those short days, the low sun, the cold, crisp air, the red hands and cheeks and noses, rugging up before walking out the door... we have none of it here in North Queensland (Australia). Yes, we have beautiful, tropical weather all year round, but I still think nothing beats the changing seasons... and I just love a cold winter. Thanks for the beautiful photos.

Dear Lucy your photos are magical!! We had the thickest frost here on Sunday morning with sunshine and blue skies. This afternoon there was a little flutter of snow flakes and an excited whisper went round the year 1 classroom. We are forecast snow sometime tonight!!!!
Enjoy the week ahead.xxxx

Hello! Beautiful pictures today. I've been loving reading about your crochet and your part of the world. I live in Washington State, USA and we've had 26 inches of snow in the past 6 days with 9 more inches predicted tonight and tomorrow. Ick! But dear hubby and I are taking a much needed holiday to Maui next week and will be away from the snow for a short time anyway.

Thank you for letting us have a peek into your beautiful world.

We got stuck in Harrogate last night coming away from the Knitting and Stitching show....grr. I was sent to your lovely blog by my daughter who taught me to crochet and just want to say how much I enjoy it. Thanks a lot.

hi i hoped you would have some snow photos and here they are. They are very beautifull, do you put them in an album, or make calendars from them they are that good

[Katie]

Beautiful beautiful pictures. I wish I'd taken more time to enjoy the snow rather than moan about how difficult it made it to get to work when I was in the UK.
Thanks for sharing :-)

We had snow the other day too, it was the first time my little one had been out in it and i was so excited! He got too cold after 15 mins tho so we had to come back in.
Ive blogged about the snow over at aqeelas-house.blogspot.com - i love this kind of weather!

When I saw the images of the UK covered in snow on TV yesterday (actually mentioned Yorkshire), I was hoping you would show us the view from your Attic. So lovely! Having lived all my life in the tropics, I can only imagine what it is like to live in a snowy place. Thanks for sharing it.

Ok...A24...I wanna live in your little village. It reminds me of that little town in the movie The Holiday....
Now, ...I noticed you almost got 200 comments on your gingyman balls post....geeesh!
I blogged about my Assistant's yarn balls and got like 10 comments.

[Terrie]

Ah what lovely pictures - here it's mainly frosty. I would love some of that powdery snow!

The first snow was always a "family holiday" at our house...No school for everyone.

Hi! What a lovely blog you have! I just watched tv news and they said that it has been cold weather in UK. It's cold also here in northern Finland, today morning -21 C. Now it's only -15 C.
