What a day - so much fun



Kaya came for a play date and they made snow castles.




The snow storm did arrive. The whole town came to a standstill today.




The hard work begins again




This shovelling of snow is getting to be a pain. we had our work cut out for us today.




Is that you Victoria?




Kids ride on a toboggan




Look how much snow.

What a day and what fun.

Yesterday the whole of Westport were in a panic and buying up the entire grocery store. No food in the house and shops will be closed for one day. Panic. I stocked up on the bread and milk just so I would not have to drive in the snow. The schools were closed because of the huge big storm coming our way. We waited and waited. Well when we woke up the next morning we had our load of snow waiting for us. The shovelling started. This is serious hard work with the amount of snow we got last night. My arms are aching. A snow blower is for sure on the list of things to buy.

I waved to the neighbours across the road and then the next thing we know they have come over to help us
shovel snow. The funny thing was they had the snow plow guy doing their garden and then they were helping us. We invited them in for a coffee. Leon's coffee machine is a winner and all our guests so far just fall in love with the coffee. Proper coffee not filter coffee. What great people. They have four kids, so Lucy the only girl and the youngest came over to play. Then the kids wanted to go to Lucy's house and I was yes go. Mommy can have a look at the house. Well I was blown away with her decor. She has collected some amazing pieces of furniture. What I like is it does not look like she was gone into a shop and bought the whole shop display. Also she has found things in yard sales, consignment shops, market. all over. So I am on a mission to fine pieces of furniture and fix them up.

The is was off to sledge and we had a go on a toboggan. what fun and really fast.

The body is tired but happy.

My friend Orit who is from Israel originally was in the Israel army which I found so interesting. Her stepson is in the Israeli army at the moment. What great stories. And real life.

Off to bed now.
