Much to the delight of the children (and the grownups too, I rather fancy) we woke up this morning to a blanket of snow. For once, it was not in the least bit difficult to get the kids up, dressed, breakfasted and ready to head off to school. My friend Sophie had a small sled, and they all took turns pulling one another (we have four families of kids who always tend to walk together as we live just a few houses away - between us, we have 10 kids between Alex at nearly 4 and Thalia at nearly 10 so it's a great gang for things like snowy days. Out of those kids, only 3 are boys!). They also took turns pulling all the mummies as well - surprisingly they managed to pull us all, not just Lana, who is pretty small for a grownup, but bigger people like Sophie (quite tall) and me (not nearly as light as Lana!) too. It was fun, actually. This kind of snow always puts me in a good mood...There was a quick meeting at school about some teacher changes going on in Olivia's class (in which Sophie and my friend Lorayne - also one of this pack of families - have daughters) so after the meeting, we all decided to go up to the high street in Worcester Park and have a coffee. It was all very civilised, even if we did feel a little silly carrying a bright red sledge around the high street!
