Sharing the snow experience…
Last night it was snowing heavily as I drove into Queenstown
and I woke up to a white blanket wrapping the town in its freezing hold!
Schools are closed and roads home are closed and
south to the school I was to be in tomorrow are closed, so here I stay.
The true benefit of a fully blended work role meant I was
able to work away and enjoy the beauty of this place.
Late in the day I had the privilege of tweeting a school in
Auckland with some photos and skyping a class.
This was amazing as I was able to share with them the look and feel of
the snow… even showing them snowball throwing…
I promised them snowman photos so set off to walk downtown
not wanting to risk driving the rental car… Well, about two blocks along and
the slope became unmanageable… boots and snow – not a good mix! A taxi ride downtown and off I set in hunt of
snowmen… I had limited success, but did find a cute little snow family keeping
an eye out from the Queenstown Green!
My car is safe in the basement downstairs but this is probably what it would look like if it was out in the snow!
I would love to answer your questions about snow and skype
you tomorrow if you would like to see it again…
Thank you for sharing your magical day with us in the freezing north! Kids in jandals hoped for snow - sharing yours was next best.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the movie.
