Here in the UK it has been snowing since the middle of December, which for us seems like a very long time.

This weekend it was just above freezing (in Centigrade) and it is definitely warmer today, so the snow has finally started to melt.  Whether there is more to come only time will tell!

Also this weekend I finally got the chance to make that snowman in the garden with my daugther.  Once we had a head and a body, she went indoors to get the carrot for the nose and the other finishing touches, but instead of vegetables, she came out with some modelling tools.  So we both got arty and started trying to carve a face on our creation.

Somehow, making something just for fun is a great antidote to stress.  It will be gone soon and will only live on in memories and a couple of photos.  But to be honest, I’m not sure who had the most fun – her or me!
