Well a white Christmas Eve anyway. Beautiful. A run out through the parks to Clough Lane to revel in the whiteness. Snow is transforming. It monochromes and simplifies and creates a sense of peace and calm. It accentuates and highlight structure and enhances the beauty of trees and shapes and hedges. It adds a crunchy, sensual, textural layer and induces stomping and jumping and snow angel making. Like sunshine it makes people smile for the sake of smiling. It makes dogs and people slightly hysterical and playful. It changes the pace of the world and forces a humbling slowness and carefulness. It is great and I wish we had more of it each year. Happy Christmas. x
