I think that's a bit strong. Especially after shovelling more of it for nearly an hour today. But it was pretty. Hmmm. Enjoyed? I think that’s a bit strong.

I travelled to London and back when it came down. Damn you, evil TRANSPORT CHAOS, damn you to hell. I’m glad you enjoyed the snow. I travelled to London and back when it came down.

Quite lovely actually. But it's a bit of a mixed blessing. We often lament our poor weather here in Britain, wishing we had more sun, but I bet you could tell us a thing or two about too much sun. This snow was soft and powdery. It would have been useless for making snowballs or snowmen, if I had been tempted to do such a thing. But it was fairly easy to shovel. Just push a snow-scoop into it and walk forwards. Then go back and pick up the bits that fell out of the side. Wash, rinse, and repeat, and repeat, and repeat! There was a lot of it.

And something you never see where I live in Perth, Western Australia. I have actually only ever seen snow close up once in my life when our cousins took us up the mountain from Mission in British Columbia and it was all hard and crusty. Disappointing. How lovely.

Funny you should mention the Priory. I was just thinking how gorgeous it would look in the snow and sun, and if the snow is still on the ground tomorrow morning, I may well be there! Hello Eric.

I find the snow helps me not to feel so guilty about the garden ~ everyone's is the same! If ever you want somewhere to go (and you can get there) Little Malvern Priory is open during the day time. Thinking of you both. Eric Hello Chris
