Snow

So we’ve kind of had a snow day. I woke this morning to a layer of the white stuff outside and got quite excited. I do love snow. I love how magic it seems even if it is a total and utter inconvenience to us all. My youngest two are both off school with a flu type bug that has brought out our dear old friend Croup. It sounds like I have two seals in the house. My youngest is on day five of feeling pants but his voice has returned and he’s eating so he’s definitely getting better. My middle one hasn’t had it quite so bad, no sore throat just the cough and a temperature. My eldest is fine and was gutted that he had to go to school. His bus arrived on time but then took 45 minutes to go two stops. By which time he was fed up and cold. Most of the students gave up and came home. The bus company later stated on Facebook that they were sending another but by which time most of the boys were home again. So he got his day off after all. As for me well I work on the moor during the day and there was no way I was going to get there so I’ve had a day looking after the boys. The hubby did a 14 hour night shift last night, late home due to the snow and the fact that they had to close the A30 and deal with loads of broken down vehicles, jack knifed lorries and just lots of snow. Here’s Alfie enjoying the white stuff this morning. Stay safe and in the warm.  X
