WE MADE A NEW FRIEND!
Today we spent a healthy number of hours messing about in the snow, getting rather wet and cold, yet oddly refreshing.
A fair dump of snow came down overnight, so like two big kids we donned our wellies and waterproofs and made good use of the fluffy white stuff, or so we think anyway!
We did start with a magnificent specimen, he had legs, arms.. the works, then I got a bit carried away with the 'shaving' and the effin thing fell over.. after 2 hours of rolling, patting and shaping! Not deterred, we started again, with a less ambitious creation! We stuck to the standard two ball affair, then added bits as we went.
Our new friend, coming in at just under 6 foot - has beennamed Deborah, complete with snowhawk.. she has avocado eyes and beer bottle buttons, not your average lumps of old coal. We hope that she will be around for a few days anyway.
If the weather is the same tomorrow, we may make her a little friend. Watch this space!
