The lengths we go to to pretend it is snowing

Despite England's lack of predictable snowfall over Christmas, I do find I miss snow and the cold of Christmas time. Rachel and I found a solution, bizarre though it may be, of pretending it is snowing - did you know that if you drive through a cloud of lake flies at night with headlights on (always a good idea when driving at night anyway) at a decent speed they look like little flecks of falling snow? So, when we are feeling snow deprived, we could just turn up the air conditioning really high and drive to Makoko through the clouds of lake flies that come up from the lake in the evening - genius!
