The more it snows tiddely-pom

The above is a line from The more it snows, which is featured in the Hums of Pooh (as in Winnie the)

It is catalogued as an outdoor hum for snowy weather and it is very good for keeping the feet warm.

I sung it (in my head obviously) whilst walking to the village shop this morning for milk and bread. Due to the snow I'm at home today and, despite several attempts, have been unable to get my work laptop to function on my home dial up connection, so am enjoying a free day of pottering around the house.

The snow scene outside is very picturesque and peaceful. There is something very calming about snow when you have accepted that you aren't going to necessarily do the things you planned or be able to get to work. If we're not too adversly affected, it's like a free pass from nature to stop and enjoy a welcome break from the usual routine.

I for one will be watching a DVD this afternoon and reading more of The Box of Delights with a cup of tea and a biscuit!
