Today we woke up to about 6 inches of snow, which is quite unheard of in these parts. Consequently the whole city pretty much ground to a halt, but George and I were determined not to let the weather spoil our plans for the day.
So this morning we put on lots of layers of fleeciness and waterproofness, and set off through the snow to Conker Club. The journey normally takes about 20 minutes with me pushing George in the pushchair, but as we don't have an "all-terrain buggy" today George had to walk - and it took 45 minutes. He was very good, managing to walk most of the way there despite it being partly uphill. On the way back he was less keen on the walking and rather more a fan of being carried - and since the return journey is also partly uphill, by the time we got home we were both exhausted.
This afternoon we had a birthday party to go to, and neither of us had the energy to repeat the walking/carrying experience, so instead we struggled with the pushchair, mostly walking in the road where cars had flattened the snow somewhat.
I think we will both sleep well tonight!
NB: George's hands look slightly odd because we could only find one of his mittens this morning, so he is wearing a pair of my gloves - and we weren't responsible for building the snowman, just admiring it!
