day trip: to the Beacons in the snow
















Waking up to even deeper snow on Saturday morning, everywhere so white and pretty, snowflakes melting as they land softly on the windows, a snow day! again, much loved and worn cat slippers, trudging to work for 9am in the snow to open up the shop, taking my camera along just in case!, photographing things on the way in amazement at all the snow, the art supply shop at the end having cleared a pathway and made a snowman, wearing my new polar bear jumper both for work on Saturday and adventures on Sunday, £6 from £45 for said jumper in the Urban Outfitters sale, thinking I'd wear it next Winter and not realising how soon Winter would arrive again, wearing yaktrax to stop from falling over in the snow and ice, a long day at work but more customers than I'd thought, Sam & Craig popping in to see me before they went sledding, being glad to get home in the evening, walking along to the Indian for our takeaway, lots of people had the same idea, a delicious tikka masala, an early night and an early rise...

...deciding to make an adventure out of the snow whilst it's here, getting wrapped up and ready and heading off to the Beacons, a beautiful blue sky, very chilly winds, a picturesque walk to the woods, carefully up hills and quickly back down, minding not to catch the holly, woods and trees and everything inbetween, even more enchanting covered thickly in white, an impromptu snowball fight!, feeling like a kid again, a beautiful view of the River Dee from the top of a hill, back down and heading off into the woods again...

  1. I love that second picture with the rain on the window! We had no snow down here, but it has still been FREEZING! Love the jumper, they had the same one with dinosaur on it in Urban Outfitters when i went this weekend and I was so tempted but they didn't have it in my size :(

  2. Ahh, you got sooo much more snow than us! It looks like Narnia! :D I think you have to just make the most of it, even though it is annoying when you slip over about 100 times on the way to work when it's almost April! Hah! I've mostly been playing in it with Nico, he's been enjoying it at least! Your polar bear jumper & cat slippers are totally adorable, still loving that AllSaints scarf too :)

  5. Wow, that is a lot of snow! I don't think I could survive that! Snow is very foreign to me so it's scary but oh so beautiful to look at. I love your kitty slippers!

  13. These are gorgeous pictures! I really, really, really want snow! It's impossible to get it here in California unless you go up to the super high mountains, which isn't the most convenient place. :) By the way, I really love your bag in the 10th picture-where's it from?? xx
