Snow in St Albans!

Hi everyone!

Well firstly, we found a place to rent!!! It is a little studio apartment (room rather) with our own little kitchen and bathroom. For those of you who have seen our Sydney unit, the whole studio is about as big as our lounge room... so VERY small. But, it does mean that when we get visitors there is room for a mattress on the floor beside our bed!!! It's in between Camden town and Kentish Town, north of London (but still really close to city). We don't move in till the 20th April though and James has a week of painting work this week, so, the plans are to stay with Kay and Chris for a week and then do a trip somewhere for the second week. Then, we move in!

Secondly... what I've been waiting for and checking the weather reports for... SNOW! It snowed here in St Albans last night and early this morning so James and I woke to find a very pretty covering of snow on the tops of houses, cars, trees and grass. I had even put money on a horse called 'Snowy Morning' yesterday in the Grand National, in hope of it to really snow. It came 3rd (and I won some money... a huge £3 profit) and then it snowed!!!











We went outside later in the morning to check it all out and now James is in my bad books...


This afternoon (Sunday afternoon) Kay's two children Kirsty and Rob are coming over. Kirsty is 25 and Rob is 27 so we're looking forward to meeting them. We are watching the football and then having a roast!!! Yum... Thanks Kay!

Hey, I'm writing for 2 reasons. 1 because I need to try a few logins to remember what password i used for this comment thing and secondly to tell you I worked out how to do it but accidentally commented on your first story so you have to go right down the bottom to read it.

Also, when you put your stories on do you have to do that word verification thing? I don't know about you but on my computer some of the letters are bloddy hard to read and i've got em wrong a couple of times.

Catch ya!
