Heartsgirl here………
Yes, it CAN be done, in fact it must be done or else this blog will never get added to. It seems that snowy Scotland is back with a bang. In fact I’m not sure we shall ever see the back of this fluffy white stuff that seems so charming the first day or two and then turns into a nightmare.
Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoy the strolls through the forest with the snow crunching under your feet and the sun glinting off the hoar frost. It is delightful. The slushy, grey mess that soaks your ankles 2 days later and the drivers who think they are on the famous “Snowman Rally” racing through the village are less impressive.
It’s great seeing the wee man dressed up in his snowsuit enjoying the frosty majesty of a winter’s morn, not so much fun trying to get him INTO 5 layers just to have him say he has to pee!
But we have had our good times. He has discovered how to build a snow shelter, how to track animals through the snow and thanks to his daddy, how to “PEE” the letters FTH into the first fresh snow of the year. Ah, youth (and in daddy’s case, stupidity…..just kidding youngy! x)
So wherever you are today, whatever you are doing, stay warm, drive safe and remember, it’s only another month until we can pretend spring is on the way!
