Sta Nevicando!

Woke up this morning to this:



Haha! Lego houses.


Pretty unexpected! And it was sooo deep. I reckon it's probably the deepest snow I've ever seen in my life. Like, so much deep snow!

Incrediiibile!

Naturally, I got really excited and couldn't wait to go outside in it. Clari got out her sledge and we tried to find a suitable hill to sledge down. Only, we didn't have much to choose from as I didn't fancy sledging down into a tree, and Clari was too scared to go down even the slightly steepest of hills.

I had to check out our den / cabina whatever to see if it was still standing, and it was! Just about...

Good effort.

The roof had caved slightly under the weight of the snow but it's still standing!

After much hunting for a prime sledging spot, we settled on the long slope down in front of their house. I pulled Clari down it in the sledge to make a pathway for the sledge to slide down. Then I pulled her back up the hill because she's a lazy gremlin and doesn't like walking. I then pushed her down the hill again in the sledge (note: pushed, because it wasn't steep enough to slide on its own). And pulled her back up.

(Nocciolina equally excited)

By the time it was my go Clari decided to wait for me at the top of the slope and I attempted to slide down the hill, but it's quite hard to slide down horizontally. And I've got to admit, sledging isn't really any fun unless the hill is so steep you start to fear for your life.

Clari soon got bored, so we made a snow man.

I'm so proud.. *wipes away tear*

She helped me roll the first ball but then she started to cry and told me her fingers were cold, so she went inside and I finished it off myself. Dominga chucked me a scarf and a carrot from the balcony above and I dug out some stones from the drive for eyes and a mouth. Eventually I was finished and I went back inside, totally sodden through and with fingers like pink crab sticks...

But with a beastly snowman sat outside in the garden!
