My GD has a snow day, they have a sledge so they asked the family next door to join them in the park. The mother said no thanks and when they got to the park they were the only ones there. How sad that children are no longer allowed to play out!

I've been laughing at the videos my children have sent me of them playing in the snow today - and yes, my children are all adults, but the magic of being outdoors has a strong pull on my offspring (they get it from their father). As youngsters they would stay out until forced indoors by their wicked mother who feared they would get frostbite. I remember well one holiday when they were in their late teens and we visited snowy Norway in February and my boys and their dad all ran out into the garden to play in the snow wearing only swimming shorts!! (And I have the photo's to prove it.)
