Hey!!
Today the snow has brought wide spread disruption and choas to Britain (as it always does when we get a light dusting of snow). People facing the drudgery of that daily commute are struggling through maintaining that resolute upper lip thats seen us Brits through many a crisis...
What utter rubbish.
Snow days aren't sent to us to make us miserable! Snow days are a gift and should be enjoyed!
Now I completely understand those people in essential jobs - police, fire, and ambulance services, nurses and doctors getting through. But really - what would change if you contacted your employer and said 'If you don't mind, I'm going to take today off work?' As long as you have no important clients flying in from the States - wheres the problem? Take the day as annual leave, and get out in the snow and enjoy it!
You didn't hate snow as a kid - you were enthralled with it - and the only reason you hate it now is because you know how much its going to inconvenience your attempts to get around.
WELL DON'T!
And schools should let the kids out and let them enjoy it too. We get so little of the white magic these days and it was brilliant watching them out this morning! Ive had a walk to the shops for some kinding this morning and re-discovered the magic of letting the snow land on my tongue! I walked past a few people with my tongue out and Im sure they thought Id gone mad.
So - go out and enjoy it! If this weather keeps up I guarantee there will be a snowman in my front garden by 4pm.
Have a good day 
Nige xx
