Jenwis's home village in the North West awoke on Sunday to a comfy couple of inches of snow, which had increased to three or so by the time bacon butties has been consumed.
A stroll seemed to be in order and 5 minutes into this, I made a startling discovery. Inside the body of every 40-something man beats the heart of an 8 year old. Deliberately walking in the deep bits, wishing it was me building the snowman, sticking my tongue out to catch snowflakes, enjoying the noise of the snow scrunching underfoot, the snow building up on my scarf, making a perfect snowball, the feel of snow hitting my face... ah.... Life is great sometimes. I've never seen so many brilliant snowmen in one day. Is there a gene that means kids can do that, or is it passed on from generation to generation?
With global warming and changing weather patterns, we may see less and less of days like these. Treasure them. It's not often you get to feel young and carefree nowdays, even if it is only for an hour or so.
Happy Christmas to you all.
(Now all I've got to do is drive home from work tonight...)
