A heavy dump of snow caused a small amount of chaos yesterday…Not only was it ‘Quiet Day’ at college (where everyone had the day to read, prayer, relax on their own) but with the electricity went the hot water and the whole heat system... If it wasn’t for the beauty of a couple of inches of snow, I am sure things would have seemed a little different?! But the snow was such a blessing! We awoke to glorious sunshine slowly eating up the magical blanket of snow…I became like a little child gobbling down my breakfast as fast as I could to maximise the time I could have in the snow. It was wonderful…the crunch underfoot, the branches laden with snow, the red berries sitting stark against the pure white and the warm sun rays making the chilly air, warm – it was a superb scene! Thankfully to everyone’s great relief, at 6pm, just as more and more layers of clothing were being added to keep warm and candles lit, the electricity came back on and the sense of adventure began to diminish…
