| "Snowy skies in Hamar, Norway" December 2008 |
I woke up
this morning to snow!
I had not smelt it coming and
it continued all day leaving an icing sugar cover over cars and rooftops.
I do not remember, even in
Nürnberg, experiencing snow as early as October, frosts at Halloween yes, but
not snow. I heard today that parts of Britain have had a sprinkling too.
Despite the snow I am
determined not to turn the heating on until November 1st which is a
bank holiday here and I can make myself warm and cosy at home!
Winter
draws on
When I perused a catalogue at
work yesterday evening little did I know how appropriate the item that I photocopied,
to give to members of my afternoon group, would turn out to be.
Even I had not smelt the snow
coming, although I had commented as I travelled home with a friend that I
thought we would be saying goodbye to the beautiful autumn leaves during the
night. It was not quite cold enough for
all the leaves to drop but it was cold enough for snow!
Transport
made for two
In the catalogue I had
discovered a sledge made for two, one person seated while the other stands behind.
It is possible to steer and apply the brakes in both positions.
A sledge made for two could be
ideal for many of the children and their siblings in the families that I work
with, we may just have to try one out.
Last year some of our children
found a three-wheeler walker bike under their Christmas Tree, perhaps this year
it will be a sledge.
