Wiltshire, Eh?

Which will go over the heads of most Brits but is aimed at my Canadian friends.



So I get woken up at 7am by the excited voices of the girls getting dressed. I hear the words "warm", "layers", "gloves", "scarf". I tried to ignore them and go back to sleep (after all a quick one eye open look at the other side of the bed confirms that Richard is up - he can deal) but nope, I just couldn't.



I pull back the curtains, and blow me down if we haven't magically been transported back to Nova Scotia during the night. Around 3 inches of snow lies on the ground and it's still snowing. Going down into the kitchen to get a much needed mug of coffee, I get a feeling of deja vu: he is listening to the radio and the announcement of school closures. Yes, it's a 'Snow Day'. Can you believe that?



Typically it's today when I have to work and not yesterday, when I didn't but the girls have been out since 7:15am and loving it.



I'll post some photos later, once I'm dressed and gone out to take some.



Happy Snow Day...
