Snow is falling, all around!

Hello again,

Okay, smile, when Ben read my blog yesterday and realised that I didn't think that it felt like winter, he packed us all in the car and took us for a drive.

I would like to say that it was a long drive.

But it wasn't.

We were only in the car for 20minutes or so but, because we live at the foot of the Vosges hill range, we quickly gained altitude and came to the Champs de Feu . Only the fields were anything but on fire... as they and the roads were filled with snow!

We didn't stay for long (as I hadn't brought the right clothes....) but we we had enough time for a snowy walk, to make snow angels and to realise, yes, it truly was winter in the Vosges.

Then, after a change of clothes and some hot chocolate back home, we met up with friends in Obernai to visit the Christmas Market... and so, after cups of hot wine, watching the kids going round on the carousel, petting Santa's donkey, snacking on bredele and mannele, and visiting the local church with all it's Christmas decorations, I finished the day well and truly feeling we were in the heart of an Alsacian winter!

Love n snowy hugs,
Robynx
