Dreaming of a white Springtime


Try to remember when you first saw snow? I mean real snow. Not snow in books, or film or snow shakers. Real snow. This weekend little Aimee finally got the chance to muck around in the white stuff. Of course she knew what it was because of all the picture books and she has seen it before from the window, but we never went out in the snow before. This time, we zipped her up in her all in one snow suit and went out to a patch of grass outdoors.
Her first instinct was to smell the snow. Yes smell it. Then she wanted to feel it and get her hands cold. It was all so wonderful to her. Especially making footprints.
If you this is all very unremarkable, then realise the time of the year – it is April!
We’re all looking forward to the heatwave in December.
