Here's Christie, 3rd Feb 2009, enjoying the snow on the Brading Downs, IW, at 8am before school.... little did we know tht the school was not going to open. A good time had by all, despite the biting wind chill factor!! the most snow we've had on the island for many decades!!!!
Snowmen... snowballs... what can I say!
