We were all children once. Some grow up entirely...and some still drip ice-cream on their best shirt occasionally. My kind of people:)

Alas no snow in Malta. Would have loved to learn to ski.

This sounds so very exciting ! With children, you also must have enjoyed your first snow. Beautifully written with the last line in a slopping manner as the snow, gently falling.

Yes, I do remember having fun in the snow, sledding down a hill. Youth can be wonderful!
