The Lesser-Spotted Blog (Blogimus Rareideae)

Hail and greetings!

Here be a blog! - Just in case it's been so long that everyone has forgotten what one looks like.

We had snow! It was practically blizzard worthy! In fact, it was definitely blizzard worthy. There was no snow at 6 am, but by 8 am we had 6 inches worth... and the snow didn't stop falling until about 5 pm.


This greatly pleased the school group we had on site, since they got to pelt their teachers with snow balls. It did, however put a bit of a dampener on the activities we had planned, since fire lighting is quite hard in the snow.

Instead our activities we attempted to sledge down the sand dunes, since the beach was completely covered in thick snow too. Apparently sand/snow sledging is a bit trickier than just snow sledging, either that or certain members of our staff are rubbish at sledging. It may have been a little of both.


We wandered over to a semi-frozen Blue Pool, through scenery which looked more like the Alps than Broughton Bay, but good fun was had by all, and the hot chocolate with squirty cream and marshmallows was well worth the slightly chilly toes.
