A Winter Visitor

When I woke up this morning and looked out my window, I realised that our wee country had a visitor. He always arrives around this time of year and politely stays for a while. He travels long from east to west and to the north then south.

As he travels far and wide we see him leave his trail behind. He usually does his work a night, so no one catches him in the act, and once we walk outside in the morning, we see the ground sparkling like the stars in the sky.

It’s magical and white, like a winter wonder land. The leaves are glistening and puddles are frozen. Little kids treat the street as an ice skating rink whilst adults struggle to stay on their feet. Drivers take care, as the hidden ice on roads could take them by surprise.

Its time to layer up, remember your hat and scarf, he’ll be nipping at your fingertips so please put on your gloves. Don’t worry though it wont last long, but for now…welcome home
