It’s been a bit of a dark week for the Cheetah Keeper’s mummy – I feel a bit like the snail in Julia Donaldson‘s The Snail & The Whale – “the snail felt hopeless and terribly small”…

On Saturday night the snow started falling.  I am terrified of snow.  The risks of falling and what might happen if I did overwhelm me.  I worry about what may happen if the children fall awkwardly.  However, as I wrapped the children up on Sunday morning I realised I wanted to photograph the fun that they were having.  So, I put on my wellies, wrapped up and went out.  Into crunchy, perfect snowman/snowball snow.  And instead of taking 3 pictures and heading back in again, I stayed out – for snowball fights, photos and general silliness.  All 4 of us, out there, together.  Then we went sledging!  Not big sledging, but I went out and walked down the hill (and took loads of pictures) with my family.  I crunched through the snow where I couldn’t slip – we had fun, we went home and we drank hot chocolate with excessive quantities of marshmallows and squirty cream.

So, here are my photos, that I took, of what terrifies me.  It was beautiful.

Many apologies for the linky not working quite as it should last week – changes have been made!  So, please link up your beautiful words, pictures, creations or acquisitions – and share what you think is beautiful with the rest of us

Author: Jenny; Cheetahs In My Shoes & Just Photos By Me

Jenny blogs about life, being a mum of 2, additional medical needs, cake, gin and whatever else comes to mind. She lives with a load of imaginary friends (they're the Cheetahs in the Shoes) who are entirely responsible for her starting blogging in the first place. Expect to find photos, cake, the odd rant, stories of the imaginary menagerie, her views on being a parent and occasionally something that makes sense...
