Earlier this week we had some proper snow. It melted over the course of the day but it stayed on the ground just long enough for me to take Toddler Adams out with the sledge.
We had quite a bit of fun sledging down a nearby hill. Unfortunately, however, we almost smashed the bottom out of the sledge. It’s so badly damaged from carrying the two of us at the same time that we’ll have to invest in a new one.
A nearby furniture store has a really nice looking, solid-built wooden sledge and I’m eyeing it up. It’ll probably be far too expensive. I may just have to buy it anyway.
I thought this pic of Elizabeth pulling the sledge was full of character. Rather like the image I posted yesterday of a family tree top walk in Scotland, it was taken in colour but it just seems so much better in black and white.
It also makes a nice follow-up to last week’s #MySundayPhoto picture. That image happened to show Elizabeth playing in the garden as some snowflakes were falling.

That’s a gorgeous photo! You can almost see her character, even though it’s from behind and she’s covered from head to toe in her snowsuit! I like the way you’ve captured enough of the path ahead for it to look like an adventure.
Slightly jealous of how much snow you had. You can see on my pic that we had rather less!
buy the sledge John, you may wonder next year why you bothered, but I wish we’d invested in a decent sledge for our lot when they were little and even now at 15, 20 and 22 they still go sledging when it snows
A gorgeous snow shot – love the way Elizabeth is pulling the sledge along and snow photos always look especially stunning in black and white 🙂
Lovely photo. So jealous you had snow as it looks so much fun.
What a beautiful photo, we’ve all managed to get a small amount of snow now I think.
Beautiful photo, we haven’t had enough snow to go sledging in it and I kind of hope we don’t know
Thank you for linking up
Aww! Such a lovely photo! It looks like you had a lot of snow x
Grace would be gutted if I showed her this – we STILL haven’t had any snow!
Aww such an adorable photo! He looks so keen on hauling that sledge on ice! #mysundayphoto
This is such a lovely photo I love black and white images they are my favourite. Something about snow in b&w that is so beautiful and I love that you’ve caotued Her pulling the sledge 🙂 x
Such a shame it got broken. I can feel the steely determination to get that sledge to it’s destination
Great photo. It’s got me thinking that I should look to get a sledge ourselves – sounds like you had lots of fun.
Wonderful picture, that’s one for a frame!
