Too late for the Joy of Childhood contest but...

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!

Absolutely nothing, Rich, absolutely nothing.

Thanks for the kind comments.

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.

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.
