Fantastic start to the first full year of the Purple Book, more snow than i've ever seen in this country in my life. December's snow was great, January's is even better. With still no sledges and no sign of any coming in until next week it was a great time to cross another act of randomness off the list - Build an igloo!
Take your time if you're ever building one otherwise you'll be truly gutted when the bugger caves in on you. Use some chicken wire for the shell and a bit of wood at the back to build the thing around. Make it really wide and pack the stuff together, make sure the two sides in the middle are solid before putting the top on. Then if you're feeling fancy, stick a bit of carpet in it and a flagpole and take a picture of it for prosperity :)
January also saw a trip to Beaulieu which crossed Monorail off the the transport list but still no chance of riding a Penny Farthing. They had a couple there but no touching allowed :(
Great start to the year though, long may it continue :)
