Very Small Feet

So the snow watch 2019 happened much earlier than last year and here in Cardiff it was well a bit poo...  Snow was sparse and not long lasting but we had school closed and scared people into going out so work was too very very quiet.  I was annoyed at all the disruption it caused with so little and well I realised how much I do miss proper winter with snow and cold.  This picture is taken on the same day, but where my parents are in Russia.  Also I wished it was more of snow purely for the little one to play with. He was so keen but there was barely any, not even to build a snowman or anything. Mother says they can dig a massive igloo with what they had. Oh well, maybe next year we will go to Russia for some real winter fun. Or I don’t know Switzerland. 

We are actually away in Russia on holidays. Seeing the family, playing in the snow. Hubby for the 1st time ever seen the real snow if you like. If you are from United Kingdom you know that we, or you, don't do snow. It's all panic and everything stops. Here in Russia we, they, just get in with it. Stephen couldn't get it why my parents weren't excited that it was snowing? He on the other hand had a sparkle in his eye like a small kid at Christmas time second he spotted a snowflake coming down. We just returning back from our 1st time snowboarding! Oh my! This was so much fun. We had an instructor for one hour to explains the basics and show us bits and bobs. Excellent lady by the way called Anna. Imagine the snowboarding girl and you will see her, fresh blond smiley! Considering that a lot of my school mates and my step sister are very keen and always comes winter on the snowboard I never even stood on one.  But now I can tell you blime! I really didn't think it ...

In my book winter should always be with snow... But I guess that is because I am Russian. Here in UK with snow life stops... well there are people buying bread and milk at the shops but that would be about this. Snow is almost like plague... Lets stay inside because we do not want to risk our lives and go out... People! It is just snow!  its cold wet and pretty.... And Bath being one pretty city is extra pretty in snow... check this out! Also the best snowmen are from here I am certain... But the winter seem to disappear now and no more snow fun...  Oh well we are now waiting for spring! 

What pops into your mind when you hear winter???  I think of baby oranges... any kind. Satsumas, clementines... anything orange that smells like Christmas and New Year! Ideally I want some real pine or fur tree next to my oranges for a full effect..  Anyone knows where I can find some brunches of the fur trees in Cardiff??  And then I think what do to for my birthday?! I booked I think 4 days for the occasion... These lovely lights are in the shops and on the streets of Cardiff... At the moment I'm looking for my birthday present for my self...  These are super special!  Oh and Winter is coming... yeah I said it! I really need to get on with Game of Thrones books!
