Richard and Audrey were wrapped up against the cold in big coats, scarves and gloves. They walked out on to the drive to see how deep the snow actually was.

"Do you know darling I've never built a snowman before"

Audrey was shocked "Really Richard I despair at you. Not only have you no idea who Winnie the Pooh is you haven't even built a snowman. I can see there are lots of things I need to teach you. Come on I'll show you how to build the perfect snowman." she said grabbing his hand and tugging him onto the lawn where the snow was deeper.

Twenty minutes later and their snowman was complete, they stood and admired the snowman.

"He looks brilliant darling now all he needs is a name"

"What about George?" Richard suggested

"Yes, yes I like that, it suits him"

Still admiring George the snowman Richard didn't notice Audrey bend down and grab a handful of snow, roll it into a ball and launching it at him.

The snowball caught him on his right shoulder "Hey what was that for?"

Audrey laughed "Nothing darling I was just playing"

"I'll give you just playing" Richard said as he bent down to make his own snowball. Audrey knew she was in trouble and started running but it was too late. His snowball hit her right on the backside.

Richard laughed "Sorry darling I was just playing"

Audrey put her hands on her hips "Oh you've asked for it now"

For the next ten minutes they threw snowballs at each other, some hitting there target but most missing.

Audrey bent down to make another snowball when she hit a slippery patch and fell, ending up flat on her back.

She leaned on her elbows and looked up at her husband before she burst out laughing.

Richard knelt down beside her, "Are you alright darling?"

She was still laughing when she grabbed his waist pulling him down. He landed on top of her, his elbows taking most of his weight.

The shock on Richard's face turned into a smile when she ran her hands up his back pulling him down onto her, her lips finding his.

Richard caressed her cheek as he deepened the kiss moving his arm under her waist and the other beneath her head he rolled them over.

Pulling back Audrey smiled down at him, brushing her fingers over his face, "You have snow on you" she whispered.

"Well when my wife decides to grab me and have a roll in the snow I'm not surprised" he chuckled.

Audrey rested her hands either side of his head and captured his lips again her tongue seeking his.

Richard moaned into her mouth bringing his hands up to cup her face before ending the kiss "Darling I think we need to move this to somewhere more comfortable and less cold."

"Mmm I agree,"

Audrey scrambled off of him and got to her feet before she started walking towards the manor, Richard startled by his wife's sudden movements stayed where he was.

Audrey stopped and turned around "Cone on darling I'll race you" she said before she took off running.

Richard jumped up and started running after her laughing at her antics.

As Ned walked down the drive he saw the Lord and Lady of the manor running across the lawn laughing as they went. He smiled to himself it was nice to see them so happy he thought as he carried on down the drive.

Mrs Poo had watched the entire scene from her window, laughing at the couple and feeling immense happiness that her son had found Audrey.
