Oh my word, winter has really set in here in the UK now…and I mean really. It’s cold during the day, but in the dead of night as I am up on my own and there’s been no sign of any heating for several hours it’s cold.
Last night to try and keep warm I was sat with my scarf, arm warmers and a hat on — inside the house I mean. I bet I looked a right wally.
We even had our first snow of the winter a few days ago and I am very much a snow fan. It wasn’t exactly anything to write home about however — which is why I didn’t write about it here, it just flurried for about 10 minutes, stopped, started again for around another 15 minutes and then turned to rain and washed away, boo, I want big ‘the country was at a standstill’ type snow like we had last year. Here’s a picture of one of last years lovely, beautiful snow falls at my parents house:
I am thinking that tonight I may wear one of my Berghaus Jackets because I know that will keep me warm, it’s kept me warm up windy hills in Yorkshire in October — but it might be a bit overkill, I really would look like a big wally so I will probably just try a hot water bottle, or wrapping up in my fleece blanket instead and then go for the Berghaus in a few nights time if the others don’t do the trick!

Aww, i wish i could’ve spotted some snow down here in London! we had a few snowflakes a few weeks ago, but really really little. and it hasn’t snowed here in the last few days, but i definitely hope it does! i remember one christmas in america, in new york, and the streets were just covered in snow – it was so beautiful, a truly white christmas. you could really feel the spirit of the holidays!
