1960s Snow - Beulah Grove Croydon

Three of us, all excited, snow falling fast outside, garden smothered in white. Mum would get us all wrapped up in our warmest clothes, coats, scarves, hats and gloves. Out we would go, every intention of building the biggest and best snowman, other kids will be out to play, there will be snowball fights. It was always so alluring, couldnt wait to get out there and play, but how long could we survive? I am sure we didnt last longer than half an hour, but we had so much fun. Within minutes of being out there, the snug warm knitted mittens would be a soggy cold mess on your hands. Getting back inside, it was a complete change out of the wet clothes into warm dry ones by the fire, followed by a bowl of Heinz Tomato soup with white bread.
