Christmas Morning

A special gift like a new bicycle  can find parents and grand parents out early on Christmas morning when excited children have woken up at the crack of dawn.At least this gives the family chef a chance to get the turkey in and prepare Christmas dinner.

LET IT SNOW

As soon as it starts to snow children hope it will be deep enough to get the sledge out , build snow men and have snow ball fights.A favourite place for these activities is  a steep hill known as Castle Mound in Cambridge.

Snow on Snow

There are many new students in Cambridge who have never seen snow , they come from countries where the climate is hot.I have seen excited students frantically taking photos very late at night of falling snow .
I hope we get some good falls of snow this winter so that I can  take photos and paint snowy pictures.
