The Only Englishman In The Village

IT'S SNOWING!

Hey Guys, unfortunately we didn't make it to Prague on Sunday because, well, we were basically too lazy to go! So we are going this week sometime instead as we need to get all of our pressies and want to see the Old Town Square. But today it's snowing!! It's not a Blizzard (well in England people may call it a "Blizzard") but I'm sure it will pick up very soon.

Max must be in a very good mood today as he allowed me to stay in bed until 8am, which means he slept for almost eleven hours. It's like he knew something magical was happening outside. As I dragged myself out of bed we immediately noticed the weather had changed for the better.

Before we moved to Czech I was really looking forward to the winter, solely because of the amount of snow they receive. I definitely prefer the cold and icy weather compared to the hot and sticky. With Mia, this is only the second time she has experienced this type of weather and I remember that she absolutely loved it! She was jumping around head first and kept herself busy chasing her own tail. It's a shame she doesn't understand what yellow snow is (hehe).

I think Max is probably too young to appreciate it at the moment, but I seriously can't wait until he is old enough so we can build a snowman together and, of course, have snowball fights. Jitka is also very excited as this means the mountains will be perfect for snowboarding. I for sure will not be going as I do not want a repeat of what happened last time.

For those of you that know me have probably heard this story a thousand times, so I will tell it one last time. I decided to go skiing with Jitka's side of the family, it took us two hours to get there and to be honest I was absolutely terrified. I kept saying to myself, if all these people can do it, so can I.

So after another hour of getting equipped we started to make our way to the top of the mountain, and when we got there, I decided that I needed a drink to calm the nerves. I remember looking down the mountain and saying to Jitka "I'd rather break a limb than ski down there!" Well I wasn't disappointed.

After Jitka connected my ski's her snowboard decided to grow legs and run down the mountain, which then led to Jitka chasing after her snowboard. As I was sitting there I decided it would be a cool and great idea to ski past her while waving. After around two seconds I realized that I have never been skiing and how the hell do I stop!?!? I self-consciously thought of roller blades and tried to break using my heel, which then led to me flying up in the air with my back landing on my wrist.

And yes, you guessed it I broke my wrist in two places after just eight seconds of skiing. And just to top it off, nobody from Jitka's family had the chance to snowboard or ski because I had to go to hospital. Bearing in mind that myself and Jitka were only dating for under a year and I was just trying to impress her and make a good impression on the family. That literally fell flat on its face. Since then I have never dared to ski again.

I will just stick to sledging down the front door porch.

Can we dare to dream of a white Christmas this year? I hope so as this would be a first for me. Thank you for reading and we are now all going to enjoy the weather and watch a movie. Next time I will be updating about Christmas shopping in Prague, and our visit to the Old Town Square. Don't forget to follow and share with friends.

I hope you enjoy the photos.

Bye for now.
