Proper chrsitmas weather

Last night we had an unbeleivable amount of snow as many of you in the south east will know.

It was a bit of a christmas miracle really one of those days where for once everything seems to slot into place.

Middle son (the actor) had his first night performing 'A Christmas Carol' at Hitchin, Queen Mother Theatre and apparently it was very good indeed, he plays tiny tim although at 16 he is probably a bit old for the part (he is little though), all the shows at Hitchin are always really good thanks to long term director Rory Reynolds (Ben Wishaw is one of his proteges that has gone on to great things).

So while he was doing his show the snow came down and by 10pm we had 4-5 inches and nice strong winds to blow it about. We had already arranged to decorate our tree that night so with the snow falling thats what we did and it worked out great, we got through without a single argument and no tears.

Then it was time to go out and play in the snow (note to self buy some decent gloves) , we went to the park with intention of getting into a snowball fight but no-one there so my two eldest boys started on a snowman which of course ended up as a giant snow penis, Oh teenagers what are you like!

All in all a good fun evening - lets hope the snow stays for christmas.
