retreat from Stalingrad


We didn't have an official day off for Thanksgiving here in County Durham, but ended up having a snow day! After last winter, we thought the kids would be disappointed, since that sort of snowfall is so unusual in England. Snow hasn't fallen this early in winter or 17 years (or so Lewis tells me): the children don't care much for statistics, but they really enjoyed the snow.

Lewis gave our family walk the nickname 'retreat from Stalingrad'. I assure you, however, that we were dressed appropriately for the weather. If you don't believe me (or you want to see Lewis instructing Iain on the art of making and throwing snowballs), check out the photos.

Happy Thanksgiving!
