Rosy cheeks and tingling toes....... how well I remember that 'snow play' feeling.
This delightful picture is on the front cover of the 1951 Lucie Attwell Annual. Don't you just love it.
Do read this little verse as I think it speaks for children everywhere.
This little tot's wishes have certainly been answered here in Britain as Mr Forecast Man has been warning us all week about imminent 'normous falls of snow. And now the white stuff has well and truly arrived for the second time this month. Children everywhere will be whooping with joy whilst their unfortunate parents are most likely snowbound with no hope of reaching the shops for all those last minute Christmas essentials.
Fortunately I acquired my Christmas tree from a local farm yesterday before this recent snow fall but I won't be bringing it indoors for a couple of days (it's currently staying warm and dry in the garage).
I hope your Christmas preparations are going well whatever your weather.
Until next time.
