Ok so snowy or cold destinations are not something I usually write or post on IG about, although I plan on snowboarding somewhere this year God-willing!
However with lockdown in the UK still going strong the snow days for many have brought it’s usual ‘‘WHYYYY’’ moan initially shortly followed by an element of adventure or excitement.
Maybe because many are yearning for a change of scenery and it has given us that or maybe it has allowed us to feel nostalgic and be children again not worrying about C-19.
Whatever it is I am and always will be sun chaser and it’s not that I don’t find the snow pretty I just dislike the inconvenience it causes to getting around town here in London & the delay it causes to flights as I have experienced in the past.
Even as a child I hated being off school for more than a day because of the snow, I would have preferred to be in school with friends playing cards by the drama corridor lifts!
However its 2021 and I am so here for seeing the spirits of adults and children lifted. I have even enjoyed walking in it wrapped with a coffee and found sitting in the garden for a little down time away from the TV, Phones & Internet refreshing & relaxing. The first time it snowed this year I did discovered that I really do need to start shopping for the country I live in and not the countries I plan on visiting. My saviours have been my M&S thermals, Zara’s Boots and Coats and Essentials jumpers. I know I am not the only one surviving in jumpers and leggings at the moment either.
To wrap this up, it may not be Chamonix and we may not be able to attend the best Apres Ski Party of the season, however taking 10-15 minutes outside in this fresh cold air wrapped up can do the mind wonders.
Be safe and enjoy while it lasts because I am praying for spring to spring asap, which in my mind we will be a little closer to restaurants opening and events making its grand return!
