It's Snowing

Tuesday 5th of January was a very exciting day for us because it started snowing!!!!!! I think there is something very special about snow falling outside your own home! None of the English could believe our luck really - 2 massive snow falls in 1 year. Everyone was trying to tell us how unusual it is to see snow in Taunton - or anywhere in southern England really, and here we were with snow the week we arrived, and again 1 week before we left! All of our friends said before this year it had been something like 20 years since they had seen snow settle around them like this! It started snowing late afternoon and the flakes were huge! I have never seen such big snow flakes before - it was sensational!!!

These photos were all taken outside our house and in our car park on Tuesday afternoon.











We were quite happy with the snow fall we received that afternoon... but this turned out to be nothing compared to what we would wake to the following day...

Because everyday is different and we can't remember them all, I thought I had better start writing them down. Welcome to life in the Challis home - where everyday is different!
