February 1st 2010

Snow fell from the sky like tiny parachutes floating to a safe landing. It felt as if nothing more than air was surrounding us, but the snowflakes were as real as the frozen ground under our feet as we looked up at the black and white polka-dot sky. Those snowy fireflies flying around us must have carried happiness on their wings, for as the snow covered us so too a fever spread over everyone and the joy in the air was as thick as the snow. There was nothing to do but run in excitement, swim in laughter and dance in snow.

Don't forget you're raincoat...and gloves, hat, coat thermals and snow boots!! xx
