Snowman Building

Still plenty of snow so Matthew and Hun Yieng decide to build a snowman.

Snow !

It was snowing hard last night and is snowing hard again this morning - this is the most snow we've seen here since we moved to Frimley. Boys are happy - snow to play in and both their schools are closed due to the bad weather. Matthew goes to Lakeside Primary School and Thomas is at Tomlinscote School. Here's some pictures followed by a short video clip. First the back garden: Now some pictures from in front of our house: Our cars aren't going anywhere today. Finally a short video clip:

Actually on the 26th but we decided to celebrate his 12th birthday today together with the Chinese New Year's Eve festivities.

After having many games cancelled due to the weather - pitches waterlogged or frozen solid - Matthew's team got to play their quarter-final cup game and despite going one down they ended-up winning 2-1. Here's a picture of the happy team after the game.

Skiing in Andorra - Day 1 and 2

Just after Christmas we are off skiing with friends in Andorra again. On the 27th we fly to Barcelona, pick up a hire car and then do the three hour plus drive up to Pal in Andorra where we are staying in an apartment owned by our friends' parents.

No skiing on the 28th as we pop into the capital to stock up with food and then go an get our ski boots, poles and skis from the hire shop.

Still time for a game of Monopoly though!
