Sledging For Weeks!

We've had quite a long cold spell and snow on the ground for a couple of weeks. The kids were excited from the moment it started to snow. Straight home from school, changed into warm waterproof clothes and out onto the hill beside our house. When I got home from work we had some tea and I had to go out with them for another couple of hours. I thought they'd either get wet or cold and want to come in, no chance, they were quite happy to just keep going until nearly bedtime.

This went on all week. On Saturday the bike club at Richard Dunn Sports centre was called off due to ice and again the kids were outside all day, several of their friends came over and the sledging went on all day!

We've also had to put up with dozens of older kids making noise outside at all hours.

The clothes must be better than the ones we had when we were kids. The best we could manage was a couple of hours and we'd soon get bord.

After a week of this routine finally the kids started to get Fred up of everything. Maybe is because the kids don't see snow like we used to get.

By the end of January the weather started to improve and we got back to normal.
