The forecasters exaggerated the amount of snow we would get and we only had a about a couple of inches. It was only -5 but the roads were a bit scary especially where the wind blew the snow across. On my way to the pharmascist I skidded a few times. Today I went to see if I had a repeat prescription held there. In this country instead of holding your own repeat prescriptions, the pharmacy hold them. I think this is a good idea except that you HAVE to go to the pharmascist you used to get the original prescription in the first place, which for me was about 35 minutes away, longer in the snow. Luckily I did have a prescription waiting for me so it meant I didn't have to visit the doctor (it was only for normal monthly pills). While I was out I decided to look for Coconut Oil as I had heard many good reports about it being vey good for skin. I have very dry, dehydrated skin and Huffle has been suffering with dry hands recently. Anyway, I found it in the International food aisle of a supermarket (actually a woman in Shoppers Drug Mart sent me there). It was in a tin and was solid and looked like wax. Huffle and I read up about it, it has many health benefits, to use and to consume. We will try it and report back.
Pig goes Pop and Snow all day
I left the boys behind playing many games together and trying to earn their gadgets back. They did help to make breakfast and set the table without being asked for lunch and tea. We had a lovely skype with LizzieDotDot and her family. We haven't spoken for ages and we booked ourselves in for a chip van dinner at their house when we visit England. How exciting.
Blustery snow and a big icicle hanging from the barn
After lunch we ventured out for a couple of hours sledging. Everyone else there was sledging down the icy slopes but we chose to go to 'Mummy's Beatrix Potter Hill' where we carved our own runs. We had a lot of fun, a few falls and one or two bruises.
We were slightly sheltered where we parked ourselves but when the wind blew it was an icy blast. There was a bit of a snowthrow fight.
When the sun came out the snowy shadows looked beautiful.
After much climbing up and down, sledging, pushing and laughing, we came away to have dinner and get warm at home.
Dinner was in front of a film called The Adenturer. Smallest and I finished the evening playing Guess Who AGAIN.

I get very dry skin too, especially in winter. I swear by sorbolene cream! Do you know it?
Well there's a surprise, we seem to get all the bad traits don't we! No not heard of that will look out for it. I think the coconut oil is too rich for my skin as it's caused spots now! Xx
Sorbolene is the most basic non perfumed moisturiser you can get and it works a treat!
