Fun in the Snow

After the most boring month since the introduction of the Purple Book the snow was a seriously welcome addition to December. I still had pages of randomness to get through but it just didn't seem like the right time of year to do anything on the list. I was tempted to stick the trip to Lovely London and the fantastic London Eye but it was a repeat visit and so in violation of the good book! The snow closed school a day early, utterly fantastic but for the fact certain cards and presents had not been sent. I have never expereinced snow like this, never as thick as this or long lasting, usually 2 days at best and it has all but gone.

What to do with the best snow since I could walk and with no sledge? Both our reserve sledge and the best sledge ever made were destroyed in the Great fire of Back Garden thanks to a couple of little shites so that was out off the table. Because of that it was an old favourite, SNOWMEN :) After the old one insisted on a traditional shape with buttons, carrot and the like I just had to add a modern twist, all in the spirit of the good book ;) It was hastily added after completion, everyone has made a snowman in their life but few have created a snow lady ;) Larry the Snowman and Lizzie the Snowlady were born, cue Aled Jones...


Something that was added to the book back in July was the amusing yet deeply disturbing idea of a nude calendar starring yours truly. I now had my snowy scene so naturally out I went, complete with full length coat and slippers so as not to scare the neighbours. Luckily it wasn't as cold as I was dreading so I was only as pale as usual. Below is the shocking reality of what is usually covered up from the world. The second shot had a strategically placed present but unless you are an admirer of the disturbingly bizarre I'd stick to the marginally safer attempt below.
Tomorrow sees the second best day of the year, to everyone and anyone reading this I hope it's the best yet for you. A week after sees the start of a new year, a new start for everyone and the start of the first full year of the purple book. I look forward to events already marked in the Purple book that I missed last year such as Cheese Rolling on Biggins Hill on May 31st, but more importantly those occasions that catch you by surprise which you enjoy the most as they are the most random of them all. Merry Christmas y'all :)
