Thumbs up for 10ft Giant Snowman on the hills: It was a glorious sunny day on Saturday (7th February 09) with inches of snow covering the ground, rather than sitting at home doing nothing all day. AboutMyArea site editors Karen and Jamie gathered the family round for a trip up to the hills towards Honiton and made a giant snowman to the amusement of passing motorists. As the snowman was slowly building its 
way up, amazed motorists were hooting, giving the thumbs up and even stop to take a picture with their camera and mobile phones. A passing police van stopped by to admire the snowman much to the amusement of the officers inside but unfortunately were not able to give us a helping hand. Several motorists have returned to see how we were progressing.
Jamie Wadham (left on photo), local window cleaner (Crystal Windows) brought his ladder to create the head and add a finishing touch to the snowman's face. Steph who is the tallest 5'6 with the giant snowman stands happily at just over 10 ft high. This had taken over 3 hours and they've thoroughly enjoyed the day and brought a smile for the motorists on their travels.
