Frozen puddle jumping
It’s two years since we had an icy cold winter. I remember it well as it was the year Tin Box Tot was born and I was trying my best not to go arse over bump in the snow.
Last year was just wet, wet, wet. So this week’s cold snap was the first time TBT had seen proper ice.
We came across quite a few frozen puddles during a walk with Tin Box Dog on Warsash Common.
It was just a quick leg stretch on the way out to lunch with the grandparents, but it was enough to set our teeth chattering in the freezing temperatures.
As well as frozen puddles, we found this poetry tree on the common. It’s a lovely idea displaying rhymes written by local school children.
We took TBT’s pushchair with us but, like the dog, she was having too much fun running around to use it. She’s started to get very fussy about her freedom.
Luckily on the odd occasion that her feet went too fast for her body she landed on mud that was frozen solid – a little more painful than usual but a lot less messy!
She even enjoyed smashing rather than splashing in the puddles we came across.
Who knows, she may see her first snow before Tin Box Baby 2’s arrival. I’ll be wearing sturdy shoes between now and then!

This looks like a lovely walk, what adorable photos! Thanks for linking up with #WeekendBlogHop!
Looks like a lovely day for a walk, and isn't TBT a little cutie! I know a little girl who would love to go puddle jumping with her #countrykids
Aww what a nice walk and love the expression on your daughter's face =) #countrykids
Fingers crossed for the snow! It's an absolute pleasure as always x
Aw thanks, she has her moments 😉 All is well with the bump – she's growing by the minute!! Happy new year xx
Such a great idea isn't it. I expect the kids whose work is displayed must be so proud. Thanks for popping by x
Luckily the puddles weren't deep otherwise I would have had a much tighter hold of TBT. Especially as we were off to lunch straight after our walk 🙂
Thank you. It certainly was. Doing anything outside is TBT's idea of heaven 🙂 x
Thank you, thank you and thank you! Happy new year! X
It looks like you and TIn Box Tot had a great little walk. I love this time of year when it's smashing puddles rather than splashing puddles. It's great that Tin Box Tot enjoyed her first experience of the chilly winter, let's hope she gets snow! Thanks for linking up with Country Kids.
TBT is too cute! And how gorge is the poetry tree. Ice fascinates little ones – Monkey has skidded over a few frozen puddles too. Happy new year lovely and hope you and bump are doing well. #countrykids
