You may recall from my Fun in the Snow post last week, that my brother, with only a little help from his 2 sons, built a snowman in our garden.  That was on Friday, 27th December.  Picture 29, taken on new year’s day, showed that it had started to lean backwards.  (I presume this was due to the sun on its back rather than my brother’s snowman building skills).

Well, I’m happy to report, all you Raymond Briggs fans, that, almost a week later, the snowman is still alive and well, though now leaning over quite remarkably.  At least it will be able to enjoy looking at the stars without getting a crick in its neck. 😊

      Yes, at the very least I’ve been expecting the head to fall off. It must be well stuck on. 😊

    I like how he’s hanging in there! Maybe there’s something down in the snow he’s looking at! 😅

      No, he’s definitely bending over backwards and facing upwards, as he started life looking left as you look at the photo. But you are right, he’s definitely a fighter (and/or keen astronomer). 😉

          Yes, I thought about that. I was going to measure how low he is but I daren’t go near, just in case. His head is about 8″ from the surrounding snow this morning. 😊

          He’s limbo’d to within 4 or 5″ of the ground this afternoon. Hoping he survives long enough for an update tomorrow. 😄

      Yes, if there were a World Limbo Championships for snowmen, he’d surely get the gold!
