I finished the first layout for my book of 2010! With all the snow on the ground it had to be a wintery page. So Frosty is going to be the star of this page! While journalling I got a touch sentimental. It's not clear on the resized version I made for the blog, but it reads :
"We started 2010 with more snow than Christopher has seen before! It started to snow mid December and as we finish up our first week of 2010 it is still thick on the ground. I think the last time we had heavy snow was about 5 years ago and it only lasted a few days. This is how I remember Winter being, so it was nice to be able to share that with Christopher. We spent some time building a snowman. Christopher named him Frosty!"
It got me thinking how when I was Christopher's age (20 years ago) we had heavy Snowfall all winter. School got closed, cars got stuck but it was a blast, and not a crisis. Last time we had heavy snowfall was 2005, I remember taking Christopher to register for school and it was knee deep. But it rained 2 or 3 days later and it all washed away! This Winter it seems like the worls, or at least the UK has gone crazy. We must have forgotten how to cope with snow, shops are running out of bread and milk partly due to poor driving conditions, but mainly thanks to the panic buyers! The news is filled with snow stories, newspapers have doom laden headlines! It makes me wanna scream RELAX! It's a bit of snow not Armageddon!
So wrap up warm, take care, drink a mug of hot chocolate.. and make snow angels! Go on.. you know you want to!
If you like my layout, it's available as a FREE quickpage Here - my treat!
