*637 - winter

All it took was a couple of hours of snow showers today to cover the trees in a blanket of white.

I think the first snow accumulation means that you have to accept the fact that winter really is upon you.

I'm considerably less excited now. A year ago, I was dragging J outside to prance in the snow, inappropriately dressed in a miniskirt and my little red bubble jacket. Today, I took the bus instead of walking, refused to leave school till the snow stopped, bundled up, ducked my head, and charged home as quickly as I could.

Mummy's email about Christmas trees cheered me up considerably, though :)

"Finally I found the trees. I think they're lovely ... They look very real and nice. We will get one on Sunday.

One more month and you will be flying home."

One more month and I will be flying home.
