WINTER IN ALFORD FOREST
(By Noeline Harmer, 10 years)
We generally have a very long winter; but this winter it has been very good. We have had hardly any ■rain and snow, and the frosts have been very light. When the snow comes we keep well indoors, just admiring the snow through the windows. This, no doubt, will seem funny to town children, but as we see so much snow,, it doesn’t bold much beauty for us. When the winter is at its height, big bus loads of people come to our district. They go skating and ski-ing at my granddad’s homestead. The country round his homestead is very steep, and seems to be ideal for this sport, and to judge by the shouting and laughing, the people appear to enjoy every minute thfey are there. Needless to say, we just watch them through the window-pane, as we get no fun in playing in the snow all the time.
