    I would have entered this if only I hadn't taken as recently as last Wednesday!

    A sudden, heavy fall of snow gave my grandson and his girlfriend the opportunity to go sledging for the first time in their lives.

    Wonderful picture! There isn't anything quite like the unrestrained spontaneity of a gleeful young child is there?

    I have a saying: When you hold your first child you understand the meaning of love; when you hold your first grandchild you understand the meaning of life.

    May you have many more!

    Wonderful image with unrestrained glee of the participants. This would have really fit in with the last Challenge theme. Good job Clive your grandson and his friend are obviously having a good time.

    Re: Very nice

    Captured it and started a breeding programme, I think, Mike.

    Everyone who sees the pic instantly grows a smile of their own!

    Thanks for commenting.

    Glee. That's a wonderful word, Gordon.

    And exactly the right one, I think.

    Thanks for the kind comments.

    You're very welcome, Gale. I'm pleased you enjoyed the pic.

    There are some more from that afternoon here...

    ...if you'd like to take a look, but I think the one I posted was the pick of the crop.
