Snow, snow, beautiful snow EVERYWHERE!!! It was cold and all our curtains were closed to keep the cold of the night OUT and the warm in. It was quiet and it had been all night. That's the funny thing about snow, it's quiet, unlike rain of course, so it kinda sneaks up on you. Ian opened the curtain beside our bed, and said, "Oh my goodness!" I looked out to a white beautiful winter scene with snow falling by the bucketload. Amazing for us to see. Thank you Lord for answering my prayers, and I know my friend Jo, you said you'd pray for lots of snow too. Thanks. lol. So, tea and toast for breaky while we watched the snow gently falling and building up thick layers over everything outside.
After breaky and dishes, we headed into town to check out all the action. People everywhere taking photos, kids building snowmen, young guys having snowball fights and also skiing down the street. We had our usual coffee at McCafe. Huge coffees and nice too. Parts of the street where the snow had been compacted to ice made it pretty slippery in places, but we managed to stay on our feet. We went and looked at the waterside and like I've said since Canada, 'to make everything pretty, just add snow'.
Then we made our way to the little supermarket for bread, yoghurt, butter bacon, bread rolls, tissues, loo paper and chips. (Not in any order of importance!) Then home for lunch, but of course we had to take photos all the way back; Ian even videoed me making my first ever snow angel! I stayed out a bit longer to take a few more pics. So irresistible!
We made bacon and egg burgers for lunch. Yum yum! We'll be having those again. Toasted just the base of the bun, butter, lettuce, fresh tomato, bacon and egg of course and caramilised onions left over from last nights dinner. A nice lazy afternoon which included attempting to build a snowman for the grandchildren. (In videos and photos.) Not so easy!!! The afternoon got colder so we had early showers and dinner. Yes, I know, we're always eating!!! Ian made chicken Tikka Masala which was AMAZING!! Then a quiet night of telly.
