The More it Snows (Tiddley Pom...)

I have to eat my words from a few weeks ago when I said the snow was a once in a lifetime event. It's happened again!


I know this will all be a bit ho-hum for you Northern hemisphere gals, but it is truly a cause for delight and celebration when it happens here in the 'Naki.

Except if you are a cow I would imagine.


My snow lady had her elevensies outside, while I was occupied following what looked suspiciously like the tracks of a Woozle.








I thought one might have ventured up from the hundred acre wood looking for a warm fire to sit by.





I never found it, and the tracks did look like they went round in circles, so perhaps it just went back into the woods.














The Granny and I put on some ski gloves and gummies and went out to play.


























It'll probably never happen again.

I feel so lucky to have experienced the magic of it just once in my life time.

There are signs of spring happening here though Blog Chics.

I can't wait to see what pops up in the garden.

I think we have some jonquils already, hidden under the snow.

Have a lovely week!

  1. Oh Jacqui
    lucky you - snow in the naki.
    Great to see you made the most of it and had a fun play!

    Loved your snow lady - such a pretty sunhat, scarf and camellia.
    Is she still there today?

    No such luck in Auckland, though I felt a wee flurry on Monday afternoon - came and went very quickly!

  2. Your snow lady is just lovely - and the snow so pretty - have you seen my blog post from Monday? An Auckland Winter Wonderland?

  3. Lovin the snow lady

    i've noticed she's a tea (not coffee) drinker? Don't think she'd cut it Melbourne...plus, our lack of snow prob wouldn't help her cause...

  7. Funny about that woozle, thought it might have come in to get warm like you say...& so it goes tiddly pom..well definitely on snowing in your case! I keep looking at your pics & thinking phew I'm glad it didn't look like that when Anna was born on the 10th of August all those years ago in Hawera hospital...brrrr Why have I never seen a pretty snow person with a straw hat ever before..it all makes perfect sense really, sure beats all those ugly blocks with orange noses!

  8. How exciting! Snow is fantastic- I always say if it's going to be cold it might as well snow. At least you can have some fun with it.

  9. That's the pretties snowman, I mean, snow woman I've ever seen. It's pretty chilly here in the Hawke's Bay too, but the snow is sticking to the hills. Watch out for those woozles! xxx
