Martin was feeling exited. He’s invited his friends Margo, Mohamed and Maya over to play, and it had just started to snow. It got heavier and heavier, making the grass in the garden turn green to white, and began to settle along the top of the fence and the gate.

If it carried on like this, they’d be able to have a snow ball fight, and make snow cones to eat, and make snow angels on the ground.

There was a knock at the door, and there were Margo, Mohamed and Maya, wrapped up in scarfs and coats, just as excited as Martin.

One of Sita’s favorite places to go in Horsmarlonerpool - apart from Castle Earnose or Lomberstack Mountain - was Peacock Park.

It wasn’t just the swings, although the swings were very good, and it wasn’t just the boats on the lake, although the boats on the lake were very fun - even the quiet bits of the park meant adventure and mystery.

In the summer her friends would dash about in the sun, and hide in the shade of trees to cool down. But today she didn’t need any shade, it was cold - with grey skies - and coats had to be zipped up tight.

When the sky was blue and the sun was out, the pink and white ice cream cafe in Peacock Park would open its doors.

Inside, Mister Dennis made and served the most delicious ice cream in town. There were only three flavors, chocolate, mint or smashberry, but each was so delicious that even with only three flavors it was hard to choose which -

SMASHBERRY FLAVOR? And what was Smashberry? Well nobody knew, Mister Dennis just said he found a load of berries and smashed them up, but whatever he did - it was blue, and it was fantastic, and it was Simon’s favorite flavour.

Vaila looked out the window and saw that it was raining. At her house, Sophie looked out the window and saw that it was raining. At her house, Georgie looked out the window and saw that it was raining. And at his house, Herc looked out the window and saw - that it was raining.

“Never mind,” said Vaila’s Daddy.

“It will soon stop,” said Sophie’s Mummy.

“And when it does,” said Georgie’s Mummy.

“We might have a wonderful surprise,” said Herc’s Mummy.
