Snow stopped play !!!

 Flippin heck it's chilly up here, -17 degrees the night before last, a mile or so from us - brrrr.  (Above pic is high up on Royd Moor )

Anyhoo, hope you're all keeping safe and toasty.

After Twiglet's 3 snow days off last week, we're really into the exciting pre Christmas build up at his school now.

We went on a lovely trip to a local marina where the children had a visit from Santa, who came up the canal by  boat - their faces were a picture. (apparently the lovely chaps who work there - The Safe Anchor Trust) had to get up early to break the ice so the boat could sail).  We all had a jolly sing song, the children visited Santa's grotto, had lunch, made badges, did some colouring, received a goody bag and had a terrific time. (The Mums enjoyed it too - magical). Twiglet is most taken with his flashing lights fire engine he received !!!

We have the Christmas Carol concert in our village church tomorrow, I'm going with my lovely in laws as my Mum has hurt her ankle and Mr Twigs has to work :(

Saturday we are visiting Thomasland again, with Twiglet's little cuz.  He's excited cos they have a snow machine and guaranteed snow 3 times a day - hmmmmm !!!

Well we finally set off to go sledging last Saturday and went up to our favourite spot.

   I thought we'd had more snow than this time last year, but crikey, look at this. 

 We had to make do with having a good play instead, check out 

 Twiglet walking on top of the snow drifts.  This is the road we usually drive up !!

 Made a few snow angels and then home for hot chocolate.  

Ace fun.

 

Sunday saw us keeping cosy and putting up the Christmas tree which I'll show you next time, very pretty and overloaded it is too :)

Righto, off to do my grocery shopping and ironing now.

I LOVE this photo!!

  Take care on those slippery pavements and keep safe.
