Snow in October

The last time it snowed in southern England in October, it was October 1934. On Tuesday night we had about an inch of thick, wet snow. and the temperature was well below freezing too. By the morning the snow was quite icy, but as you can see that didn't stop the boys enjoying themselves outside at 7.15am!

Tolka has been reading 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' (a very cute book) and the family on the bear hunt have to go through a snowstorm. So he spent much of the morning with his nose pressed firmly against the window exclaiming 'I like the snowstorm' with absolute delight. He is still telling everyone that he played snowballs. Joey says the best thing about the snow was being able to eat the ice. It was a bit too icy for snowballing each other, but the boys had a great time throwing iceballs at the house. (Martin, who by the way was ASLEEP when this was happening...)
