Snowing Again!


I must admit I do like the snow. I know it buggers up the roads and stuff but I still feel like an excited kid when I see the snow falling.

It was Imbolc on Monday - midwinter. I see it as a festival of Earth - Earth sleeps but there is life in the belly. New life is about to be born.

The snow is the icing on the cake, and as Imbolc is a festival of the Maiden the whiteness of the snow is very fitting, and very pretty. How girlie am I?

PS: I managed to waste nearly two hours on face book this afternoon. I am not proud of it but needed to confess. Thankfully I feel a bit better about my time as I have managed to blog. I am really trying to post at least once a week.

I shall have to make a rare visit to facebook to see what you have been upto

I love the snow too as do most of my friends, it makes even the most dire place look clean and fresh until the thaw sets in that is.

I hate bloody snow.
And especially when it means I can't get across the hills to work so don't earn any money.
Or I can't go and have a weekend away in Devon.... GGGGRRRR!!!

I love the snow, but I did feel very anxious when it started to come down heavy earlier on, since I'm travelling tomorrow...

I Love Love Love the snow!

I love the massive snow men/women dotted about the land sporting carrots for noses and carrying a smattering of dog poo!

I love how things sound in the snow- things sound a lot gentler- slightly muffled.

Lady: I must leave a comment on your wall!

Fire: The travel is the down side - no doubt about it

Trousers: Glad to hear you still access that Free Child energy when the flakes are falling

Butch: I'm with you on loving the snow. My daughter built a brilliant snowwoman - pink bra and everything. I was in London Thurs - it was moving but they were still all traumatised hehehe

It's funny, when I was young schools were never closed because of snow and I don't remember feeling deprived. I guess I was happy enough playing in the snow after school and at weekends. Kids today are rather spoilt....

I'm guessing millions of people are breathing a sigh of relief that we seem to have a bit of a break from gruelling journies to work. Well I am, anyway.

I have continued to cycle to work, which does sound insane. However, I have discovered that the roads are often totally clear, even when pavements are treacherous. People have given me some funny looks though, but I don't mind cos I know I'm rock hard and extremely Scotterish lol.
