'Happy Feet'!

When we realised the racket on the roof tiles was interfering with our piano lesson, Jackie went dashing outside - bare-footed and full of the enthusiasm and exuberance of lassies her age and was leaping about amidst the hail stones, shrieking with incredulous delight! It was a pleasure watching her!
Hail is not a very frequent occurrence in Wanganui - (given that folks here are proud to announce to anyone who will listen) - Wanganui has the fifth most temperate climate in the world - hence, it is seldom that we have hail and even more seldom that folks on the other side of town are snowed in for a day!
The whole of New Zealand is still in the grip of an icy blast, set to last for a couple more days.
Dis al!
