As you may have heard, the UK had a severe cold snap last week. This led to lots of workplaces closing because people couldn't get to work. It also led to schools and nurseries closing...

Snow Days- they're bliss, right? As a kid I used to love not having to go to school when it snowed. Now imagine being a parent, having the day off work and getting a rare chance to spend a few leisurely days with your precious darlings- no school run, and plenty of time for playing with them, reading to them and building snowmen... sounds heavenly, right?

I was back at work today, and all the parents here were voicing their relief at no longer being stuck at home with their kids, watching children's TV on repeat. A colleague who manages the creche admitted she had lots of phone calls from desperate parents, begging her "PLEASE open the creche! Oh god, PLEASE!" because they were going mad after watching 15 episodes of Peppa Pig in a row.

I'm just glad me and Mr BrawDug got to spend that time off playing video games, watching Netflix and going on nice romantic walks in the snow, enjoying a bit of comfort food in the warm and cosy pubs that were still open...
