WHILE most commuters grumbled as Wilmlsow was transformed into a winter wonderland this week, it was a Christmas wish come true for the town’s children.

Big kids and little kids braved the arctic conditions, donned their winter woolies and made the most of the thick blanket of snow covering the town’s parks, fields and play areas.

The serene landscape of Wilmslow was quickly transformed into a huge playground, with youngsters discovering the delights of sledging, building snowmen and having snowball fights, leaving few patches of snow undisturbed.
