Snow days...

 

One of the best things about winter in the UK, is the anticipation of snow!

 

For days leading up to it, the weathermen were calling it snowmagedon.

 

I'll be honest...

I kept looking out the window for snowflakes, like a kid waiting from Santa at Christmas. The moment it started falling, I was out there in it with my camera in hand.

 

I was lucky enough to be off work most of the days it snowed. So I was out there with all the kids in the neighbourhood having snowball fights, and making snowmen and snow-angels... it was amazing!

 

 

 

There's something about snow that automatically makes everything look pretty.

 

My personal favourite were all the snow covered branches; there was just something magical about them.

 

 

My poor daffodils, thought it was getting closer to spring, and had started to sprout....
Only to almost disappear in the snow!

 

 

 

On the Sunday, we borrowed some kids that came complete with sleds, and headed off to the local park.

 

I forgot how much fun & hard work sledding could be... (especially since there was more ice than snow by this point). It was a case of slipping and sliding all the way to the top.

But the slide down was well worth the effort.

 

 

 

Though by the Monday when it was time to get to work, and it took over 2.5hours to get there...

(it usually takes 10-15mins!)

 

I was over it!





 

But, a little rain and it was all gone...

 

just like that...

 

 

Though nothing beats standing outside, catching snowflakes on your tongue... at 3am with fellow excited Aussies!!

 



I think it's time to bring back the blog...

I think it's time to bring back the blog...

What can I say...

It's been a good 2 years since I last posted on this blog, where I had such grand plans for starting another (that really never eventuated into much)

I remember starting it after a 2 week holiday in Croatia, full of scantily clad girls in bikini's, with not an inch of fat to be seen anywhere...

Funnily enough 4 years later, and I'm still at the same weight I was then, if not a few kilograms heavier..... so much for this being a weight loss blog!
I guess I just needed a break...

Life has had many ups and downs over the last few years, a few too many down points over the last few months if I'm honest.

Weight wise, has also seen many ups and downs, but I've found that I'm great at maintaining the weight I'm at now.

But when I lose it, it seems to find me much quicker, than it takes to loose!

There are many things going on in my life at the minute, that I have no control over; but my weight isn't one of them.

I've spent the majority of my twenties overweight, I don't want to spend my thirties doing the same.

So...

 

Here's to a fresh start!
