Olivia got dressed independently and without fuss this morning. We went to see my granny and the kids came and slid down a little hill with me - cheerfully, sweetly and happily, without moaning or screaming or whinging about the cold. It snowed, and the field was white and perfect around us, and it was quiet and still and beautiful, and it was nice to have my kids be able to enjoy my family home, however briefly.
The made snow angels, and Olivia insisted on rolling down the hill. The snow was quite deep.
My brother and his gf are coming home from Morocco today - will they make it, I wonder.
I need to get into South Wicklow tomorrow, think I'll have to take the train - me and 2 kids and a tiramisu and chocolate cherries and scalloped potatoes... stay posted!

Happy Xmas Jo!
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, Jo. Snow brings out the best of us (only when we dont have to shovel the car out, tho).
May you find some rest and peace!!
It's so nice to get the moments of perfection, no?
I am starting to see that girls might be harder for mothers to deal with. Maybe not, but that's what it feels like to me just now.
