How do you know if you’re old and miserable? Well in my opinion your knee-jerk response to snow is a good indicator, especially in England where it is a rare treat.
If you see “proper” snow and your immediate inner voice is a grumpy whinge then sorry, you’re old and miserable. If however you have retained a sense of wonder and excitement then there is hope for you yet!
I’m not the most naturally cheerful person but I do love a good downpour of snow. One day I hope for a perfect white Christmas, with snow 1 foot thick and more coming down as I wake. There’s pretty much no chance of that in England so some year soon I’ll have to head to Canada or similar just to experience it once.
Anyway, December 28th is pretty close and I’m so happy that I woke up to snow coming down within the Christmas holiday. I’ll head to the park soon so I can enjoy it whilst it’s fresh 😍
