The Good Life! & Snow

We have started growing our own salad! Grandad Frank gave us some rocket to start with and it is growing very fast, we had some for dinner last night. We are also growing another form of lettuce in a small capsule (pic posted last weekend) and today we planned to plant some seeds for tomatoes, cucumbers and some more lettuce leaves... we like our leaves... but it snowed and snowed and snowed, we must have had at least three inches.

Daddy had a great idea... to go snowboarding!! So we all wrapped up warm and headed out to found a steep hill. It was like a ghost town driving around at 10am as the snow was quite thick and the radio was saying don't go out unless you have too. We tried out Hove Park first and then moved on to Stanmer Park.

Daddy met another like minded snowboarding Daddy and they started to build ramps, etc. Daisy was near enough crying from the moment she got out of the car as she didnt like the snow in her face, it was coming down quite thick (Tim's dreams of her being a world champion snowboarder have been dashed) and Sammy boy loved it, running round in the snow. The little people and I retired to the car to watch Daddy but then we left him at Stanmer Park as he wanted to spend the afternoon there. Who would have thought it, Tim snowboarding on real snow outside in Brighton!


Practising before we go!


Out on the road at 10am


Try out at Hove Park, decide to move on to Stanmer Park


Daisy looking forward to playing in the snow (shame the enjoyment didnt last)


Sammy boy wondering where his wellies have disappeared too!


The smile before the tears!


The boys and the snowboard

Yesterday Daisy went to the cinema to see Horton, Hears A Who with Nanny Maureen and Daddy but she didnt like it that much. Whilst they were at the cinema Sam got the short end of the straw and had to come food shopping with me. When we got home whilst I was sorting out the washing in the kitchen and Sam got the eggs out of the bag in the hallway! Well I think you can guess what happened next... our hall way was decorated with six eggs (all broken and then rubbed into the wall, floor and rug - that's boys for you!
