A quote to put everything into perspective. Found on F/B
"It's a wee bit of beautiful snow, making everything look awesome. When you stop loving snow it's time to give up."
100% attendance said Lillie this morning as she agitated to go to college. The snow has arrived, white and heavy it drapes our small world beautifully. Will the trains and buses be running? Well the buses are stuck in their garages, but presumably the snow will be cleared and they can make their way to the main road. The trains are slow but working.
Lillie's worry about attendance is put to one side, the college will be closed as I said it would, and minor worries about blotting one's attendance record is no longer a worry. The person who will hopefully mend the Aga is coming later, Lillie has departed with her mother to Manchester, as she is going to the theatre this evening with her brother and his partner. Life falls back into an easy pattern and it has just turned 8.0.clock.
Some very unlovable snow here this morning: a grey, chilly day; sopping wet underfoot and such snow as there is blowing sideways across the fields and melting as it falls. On the other hand I've got no reason to go out and sample its delights and can curl up with a good book and a mug of tea.
ReplyDeleteThought we were going to miss it as the day started with heavy rain, then wet snow which didn't lay but now turned into proper snow - even enough to lay on the wet patio.
ReplyDeleteAfter rain all day yesterday we had snow in the night, another couple of inches. I've just been out for a snow walk, but by gum, it's hard work ploughing through just a few inches (it was deeper on the top fields).
ReplyDeleteRe snow, I had an Iranian friend who despised the sun more than anything else. Also very unnatural.
ReplyDeleteWe had more rain than snow so there is just a dusting on the grass this morning but the roads are just wet. Glad that Lillie gets a "snow day" and you can stay home safe and warm.
ReplyDeleteMuch the same here but lovely sunny day now.
ReplyDeleteGlad to receive everyone's snow news. Our weather as also brightened up and very snowy and sunny at this time. But down to minus 7% in the night.
ReplyDeleteIt snowed here in NE Ohio today, too. Go figure.
ReplyDeleteGood on Lillie for truly caring about her attendance. My father was a village headmaster for 45 years and did not have one day off for illness. My son Ian attended the local comprehensive school for five years and did not miss a single day though to our annoyance the school did not recognise this achievement in any way until I told them about it after he had left.
