It snowed!! We were really worried that it wouldn't. Clynt has sledged in Sheffield over 12 successive winters, and we thought this year might just break the record, but the snow fell. At least, it fell in Hathersage. We could see white hills from our bedroom window, and Clynt held out a full 24 (twitchy, anxious) hours before venturing out. He allowed Caleb to hurtle down the hill at breakneck speed, towards a wall, whilst a crowd of nervous, tutting mothers ran to save him from impending doom. Caleb saw the wall and threw himself off in time, whilst the mothers shook their heads and scolded Clynt. I wasn't there, but he came back very pleased with himself for being a hard-core Dad.Saturday, January 27, 2007
The first snow of the season.

I seem to remember hurtling towards that very same wall! I think I nearly wet myself, need to learn "roll off sledge skills" from Caleb!! Looks great fun! Hope you are continuing to feel better! Love ems.xx
