Dashing through the snow,
Look out for the trees,
Down the road we go,
Then falling on our knees!
The snow fell and this morning it was too lovely to ignore. Our little cottage looked so pretty and fairytale-ish that I had to take its picture! The geese were upset as the stream had frozen, but at least they could go skating and tobogganing –and that’s exactly what was on our timetable for today!
The chance to act like a child was just too good to ignore. After our traditional late start, we went off to Lake St Anne. The snow was thick, the roads were covered and we had a ball. Not only did we zoom down the 1.2 kilometer road, we had the ri
de from hell as we were towed back up to the start by a 4WD! Now that was scarier than the tobogganing.
The lake itself was frozen over so we had the thrill of walking over it while some people were seen to be skating. I tell you, it was so cold that the hairs in my nostrils froze and went all crackly. But enough of the anatomical details!
It was just a pity that we couldn’t stay longer, but we did manage a glass of mulled wine at the hut before we headed off down the hill to lunch. We were so late that day and the restaurant was so slow that we didn’t eat and finish up till after 4:00pm! So we put in a request for dinner at 9:00pm! As ever, there was no problem.
On the drive back there were lots of big ZZZs as everyone fell asleep! I’m sorry to say that nobody really did dinner justice that night as we were all still just a tad too full of lunch!
As we went to bed, we realised we only had one day left of our Romanian Christmas…NOT a happy thought.
