its snowing

Now one does not mind such a winter when its like the story books. We have been lucky to see snow each year, but this year has been really very good as we got snow while the folks were here and now a whole week. Even the driving is groovy though everybody here is very edgy about it. We have been told its due to cold winds from Russia, so thank you Russia.

Only 37 days until we head off. I have been busy finding stuff for Timothy to do on the plane. So if any of you have some clues please tell us. I have three activity books, one with stickers, one that you paint but just use water and the paper changes colour and a pop out activity thing that makes book marks, money boxes etc. We are also going to get an ipod touch for the games and the six hour play time for Peppa Pig (great show). We have found a very cool toy though a kids laptop. they do quite a few of them but we will go with the basic one and work up. Timothy is naturally obsessed with our laptops. We are also buying up summer clothes. We don't get much use for them here as you can comfortable wear long pants and sleeves all year round.


This is Timothy and I taking Matthew for a walk in the snow on the green in Kingston. To give their daddy some quiet time at home so he can work. Ben didn't go in as it has only just started to snow and a lot but they have not gritted yet so very slippery.



Below is a very bad film of Mini Foozle but it is cute. The hair is so funny and he smiles while he is sleeping. I couldn't turn the light on just in case it woke him up.
