Snowbee One-Kenobi

Little D, like most children, loves snow; you can see his adoration of snow in the film at the end of this post, Little D chucks himself in to the snow after a few feet rather than sledge the remainder of the hillside. So when the naming of several new gritters came up in a competition, Little D chucked his idea for a name into the virtual hat with thousands of others and came out top with his creation. Meaning that one of a new fleet of gritters will be called, Snowbee One-Kenobi.

Here is posing with the gritter, eager to take it for a spin.

Finally, he asks for a group shot with the newest member of the family which we have been told to watch out for throughout the winter.

He's one happy boy and he got the morning off school to see it, so it was a double bonus. Little D is now hoping for a winter that will cover our hillside, and allow his beloved gritter to hove into view.
