Springtime......

 

 Springtime and snow somehow don´t really go together! We have had snow all week and now I am really sick of the sight of it. In December it was fine, but this is now March!! 

We have had snow before in March but what makes it harder to cope with this time, is the fact that a few weeks back the weather turned milder and we got a wee taste of Spring. I was looking forward to my Easter holiday when I coud get out to work in the garden. Then the weather changed again and the snow came back. 

So a few weeks back when the weather was turning milder. Laura, Mia and our family arranged that on the 22nd March we would hold a BBQ. We thought we would grill burgers together pack them in our picnic basket and drive to the Drive in Cinema place, it was opening that evening and there was a lot of fun things happening - like loads of old American cars visiting the place! We thought we would sit on the hill top and watch all the American cars and just have some fun together. One thing we hadn´t thought about was the fact that we could have snow on the 22nd and that it could be freezing cold!! 


 
 So when the snow arrived we just altered our plans a little. We decided that we would still grill our burgers. We were in charge of the burgers, Laura was in charge of the milkshakes and chips. We would drop the picnic and just eat at home, then take drive to the drive in and see what was happening.





We had a cosy evening here at home. We drove to the Drive In Bio and saw that it was open and a few people in their cars were there watching a film.  Usually they have a fire work display but there was none of that either. We came home to hot chocolate and a good film. I unfortunately fell asleep on the sofa so when I woke Laura had gone home!! She had fallen asleep too and when she woke decided to head over home to bed.  Leah, Mia and Kristian were the only ones who saw the film totally finished!

It was such a great evening. Everyone should live next door to a friend!!! :-)
