Shiver Me Timbers, It's Snow!

Today has to be the zenith of my week. For the first time in my 30-odd years, I woke up to these snowy scenes:

down the street where we live

outside of our kitchen window

Although what fell was only an inch of snow, it was enough to transform the usually grey and dismal City of London into a Winter Wonderland: (taken by locals)

Admittedly, I'm not a big fan of snow. While it is fun for some, romantic & dreamy for others; it all but spells the chills for me. Brrrrr...*huffing breath in air*

Still, there's an upside!

The best thing about this '1-inch snow' is being able to share the experience with Danielle. I woke her up earlier this morning just so she could see it before it all melted.

Even though she was still groggy and suffering from a really bad case of bed head, she jolted up almost immediately and exclaimed, "Woaaaah! I want to make a snowman, mummy!"

I'm glad Motherhood - despite its trials & frustrations - has precious moments like these.

Here we are enjoying a cuppa after prayer meeting today. I finally concede that Danielle has my smile. :)
