We awoke to bright sunshine & about 2 inches of beautiful, powdery snow this morning.
We got up early to make the most of the snow before it disappeared.
After breakfast G fashioned wellies/overshoes for Tim from thick polythene & tape & we did a little sledging before utilising much of the snow on the top lawn to make "Dennis" - complete with carrot nose & ginger nut* eyes, mouth & eyebrows, assisted by Ben & Steve.
Tim rode the tractor around,collecting snow in the bucket, but found the snow too cold to handle. (I did have the advantage of my best rubber gloves!)
By lunchtime most of the snow had gone. We enjoyed a leisurely lunch of roast beef followed by spotted dick & coffee with a celebratory chocolate cake; KP & Thomas joined in for the first time.
(small portions, low fat suet & having a no-diet day)
We have since cleared up & I have had a snooze on the settee, waking in time to see the final episode of "He killed coppers".
Time for bed, said Zebedee!
*The ginger nuts that I made yesterday that Ben decreed "not fit for purpose".The birds may enjoy them.
A prize for the first person to identify the origin of each picture And Dennis's surname.

Between lunch & tea we walked to the sports field where all of the children enjoyed half an hour on the play equipment.
