The best (worst) snow in 30 years depending on your point of view has just covered our world in the white stuff. To be honest I think it’s great, ok so maybe a little inconvenient but it’s not like it happens very often. It was definitely a source of great excitement to Maddie seen here modelling her new (and if truth be told slightly too big) ski jacket in her favourite colour pink of course! (It’s hard not to stereotype though as everything for girls seems to be in pink. If girls didn’t like pink it would be quite tough.)

It looks promising though that Maddie will take after me in her love of snow – we’re hoping to take her on her first ski trip later this year so this was a good warm up.
