Snow

On Friday I was saying that I hoped the winter would be over soon. How fickle I am!

On Saturday we decided to go out for the day and went to the Ethnographic museum, which is basically a collection of buildings from all over Latvia. It's the first time we've been during winter and it looks totally different.

We spent about an hour wandering around, trudging through knee deep (well knee deep for Sian) snow and just enjoying ourselves as a family.

What's more I even managed to walk on water...



... well frozen water anyway! Its our 5th winter here and I finally got round to walking out onto the ice of a lake (NB: don't try this in England as you'll probably fall through!!). Here the ice can be up to 50cm thick (one and half foot for those who still like imperial).
