A Snowy Sunday in the Park

After a fairly drab winter, snow flurries finally started falling last night around 6pm. By the time we went to bed there were 2 or 3 inches so we set the alarm to ensure an early snowy morning wake-up. It wasn't sunny, but there were at least 4 inches of fresh snow on the ground and we had two hyper active labradors - so to the park!

We wandered around the park, threw snowballs for the dogs and generally soaked up the atmosphere. It being a Sunday, half of St Albans seemed to be in the park, many of them attached to plastic sledges.


Feeling like we had to do more to enjoy the snowy winter weather, we decided to build a snowman.  This endeavour soon became greater as we added a companion and then a little doggy friend.


Our little snowy replicas garnered quite a lot of attention, with one lady saying seeing them had made her Sunday morning! It may have been hyperbole, but it was a lovely compliment to get. Guinness wasn't so sure his replica really suited however!


Can you still spot our snow family?


We were very glad to have our snow fix and intend to take advantage as much as possible over the coming days before it all disappears again.
