Britain's Snowmageddon Day 2:

19/01/2013 16:41

Well, another day of disappointment as, despite a teasing trickle of snow overnight, still no blanket of white on the streets of sunny Glasgow, Scotland.

It seems that even though England, and Wales are all set to rough it out in the “fluff”, us Scots still have some wait ahead of us before anything major happens up here in terms of wintery weather.

Maybe it’s just the big kid in me that wants to come out and play, or maybe it’s the pictures of snowmen we’re seeing online, and on the news that’s getting to me, but I personally find it extremely unfair that i’m being denied another white winter when the rest of Britain are all moaning about traffic delays, and grumbling about being stranded in places.

I long for that moment when I can put on my hiking boots, open the front door of my house, and take my first steps into the snowy wonderland. There really is nothing like a stroll in the snow. Personally I like walking anywhere, anyway, especially because it gives me the chance to listen to some music on my ipod, sometimes even an audiobook, where this is not always possible if I’m in my car, or indeed sitting at home with my girls. (Peace and quiet is a rare thing these days...mum’s and dad’s, you know what I’m talking about?)

I can only sit and hope that (to quote a certain Black-Eyed Peas song) tonight’s gonna be a good night, and on day 3 of ‘blanket Britain’, my hopes and wishes will come true.
