Robust Competition Of A Snowman Type Nature …..

snowman envyThe people next door had built a snowman yesterday morning ……
snow hits UK snowman….. and we have to admit to a robust snowman envy …..
042….. but not to be outdone, we got out there in our warm winter apparel, and fashioned a snowman of our own …..
Snow hits midlands 2013……perhaps not as tall in stature as next doors, but a snowman of our own creation.

The occasion also leant itself for (as I had hoped) an impromptu Hello Magazine type photo session …..

……. so we changed fleetingly into our PE Lady’s Mum’s Christmas Jumpers for a few “cazzzzzz” shots to “put away” until later on in the year for our seasonal and limited edition Christmas cards ……
Our snowmanAnd then ……  we all became overwhelmed by the urge to frolic robustly ……..
snow angel….. even I overcame my usual reserved and serious demeanour …..

snow cave….. however,  the making of igloos is not really our forte …..
snowcave.….. although Nigel was very, very pleased with what we did fashion for him ……
snowcave….. but we had to tell him quite categorically that it was just for playing in and NOT sleeping in!!

I like the Peruvian-style hats. I wonder if Paddington Bear wore one when he was in Darkest Peru.
I taught Mrs. D about snow angels when she first set foot in the stuff. We both made one in Canada.

p.s. don't feel overwhelmed by the size of the snowman next door - big is NOT always better!

Mr.D - you certainly are a globe trotter - is there anywhere on this earth you haven't been?
Btw - that p.s. is from me - but Mr. D. interrupted my flow.

JtF,
I have been fortunate to see lots of the world, including Darkest Peru, but I never met Paddington or any of his relatives.
