This morning we headed out to find a puzzle geocache that Dad had challenged us to calculate the co-ordinates for a while ago, unfortunately we were less prepared on where we needed to park to retrieve the cache and so in the end we just enjoyed a lovely walk in the snow and gave up on the search.

It is snowing yet again and so rather than drive to town to go to the gym and collect some parcels from the post office Mr W decided to walk - when he got home he was starting to look something like the abominable snowman!

One week since it stopped snowing, but traversing our road is still something of an obstacle course. The easiest place to walk is on the road since the pavement is cluttered with random piles of snow from where the Council cleared the road with their snow plough and people in the street have dug their cars out of their drives. Wish the snow would hurry up and melt!

As uncool as they may be, I have been wearing my trusty boots to work this week as not only do they have good grip for walking on the snowy and icy pavements of Orpington, but they also have a fleecy lining to keep my tootsies warm in this bitterly cold weather that we're having!

Due to the snow we've had no post for the last few days, so we had quite a pile of mail when we got home from work today. Unfortunately though it was all dull stuff like bills and circulars, with no sign of any Christmas cards or more worryingly any of the presents that we've ordered online... maybe tomorrow's post will be more inspiring!

Still cold and snowy today. Spotted this collection of icicles hanging from our guttering outside our study window - brrr!

Today we woke up to our first snow of the winter. The garden looks so pretty, but unfortunately the snow does nothing for the trains and getting home from work this evening was a nightmare.
