May 2014. Yorkshire had gone the winter without any snow. Hawklad had almost forgotten what the white stuff was like. May was leaving it late, but finally a family holiday to Switzerland saved the day.
Hawklad got his winter playground.
Happy memories.
Switzerland is a special place, it generates happy memories.

so very precious these memories – memories that comfort and return joys long past and yet present, always….beautiful! Thank you for sharing once again. You give hope and I appreciate that.

What a look of sheer joy on his face in that third picture! I love it. Y’know, just looking at the pictures of the snow-covered mountains, the beautiful buildings, brings me a sense of calm, of peace. Someday …

The look of joy in his face as he got his snow fix that trip is priceless and melts my heart. We got a wallop of snow overnight over here so the coincidence with your post made me smile too. Happy Sunday to you both.

We don’t get much snow, so it’s a big deal for him.

I can see how that is a magical thing! I didn’t see snow until I was 8 when my family moved to Canada and it was a magical moment!
