Well, it didn't all go according to plan, no-one had booked the snow but it decided to turn up anyway. We woke up to this on the morning we were leaving with weather warnings and roads closed aaaahhgg!









We set off reasonably early to make sure we got there and actually all the roads were clear until we got to the last road up to the site which was decidedly hairy (well snowy and icy actually!) but we made it!! While we drank lovely coffee in the reception area we nervously waited to see if anyone else would make it through. Eventually everyone made it safely and the holiday began in earnest!









The rest is probably best said in pictures, but it was a lovely few days, we didn't actually do much as people were too nervous to attempt to get off the site once there and after a night freeze. The kids spent most of their time playing in the snow, sledging, building igloo, going to each others cabins and playing and generally having a great time. This left the adults to drink coffee, chat and hibernate with the occasional walk through the woods thrown in!









The lodges were gorgeous and it was so much more relaxing than going camping, we could get the kids in and have a bit of family time in the evenings and get them into bed at reasonable hours (most nights anyway!). There are already plans for the next one in Scotland, maybe at the end of the year!

Eilidh had a bit of a cold, sore throat and funny tummy for the first few days which I then got but she seemed to manage to play with her friends still. I just went to bed on the last but one day for a few hours and felt a bit better afterwards.
