Reblogged from It's a small world after all:
We were on Hawaii's Big Island when it started snowing in the UK. Sleeping in the jungle and being eaten by mozzies. The children were disappointed that they were missing out on a snow day in London, remembering the wonderful day two years ago when the city stopped and the whole neighbourhood congregated on the Common to play. We pointed out that they were missing nine months of school, which mollified them somewhat, but over the last month their one true complaint, has been jealousy of their friends on the snow front.
