On the Common with the Sledge (by sarah)
Yesturday me and Dad went out to get supplies such as painkillers and the like - plus Barbara had run out of milk. We still have had no post and our last milk delivery they walked too us for quiet a distance.
Al and Jean however went for an exertion to the common with the sledge that belonged to Al's Dad. I made Al take the camera though when we finially climbed out of the village I slightly regretted this as I was presented with fantastic views but I would prefer to have pics of Jean in the long run!
He stopped at the church first though took a landscape and none of the church which was looking very postcard-esk.
Here are his landscapes of the common.
Jean sledging without her hat! (Bad Daddy)
Many of the villagers were out and about with shovels and there was a sense of community which I feel we are slightly missing out on. Still if it continues we will have to get up into the village more.
Al said the common wasn't very good for sledging as the snow was too fluffy and too deep but it was nice anyway - I got a phone call to say we were nearly out of hot chocolate so Jean had her statutory warm drink when they got home 🙂
The only down side to the day was that I started it off by having a painfull fall but I am amazed I got this far in without any misshapse.
