Adwoa, Freda and Richmond, who work at Kingsbridge Private Hospital on Belfast’s Lisburn Road, experienced a winter wonderland earlier this week with snowfall.
Ghanaian nurses look as excited as children as they dance among the snowflakes, bright smiles on their faces and closed eyes experiencing pure magic.
In their eagerness to get outside and experience the white stuff, the trio didn’t even bother with their coats, only running outside during their break to feel the snow on their skin.

The nurses, who all work at Kingsbridge’s new Diagnostic and Treatment Center in the old King’s Hall Building, said they were delighted to see snow for the first time.
Adwoa Aninkora, 26, who has been in Northern Ireland since October 2022 said: “It’s great. If you haven’t seen anything before, it’s quite exciting.
“We missed the first session of snow that day, so when we heard it was snowing again, we wanted to see what it was like, so we just ran in the scrub.
“I’ve seen snow in movies, but it’s so interesting to touch.”
The weather in Northern Ireland is, of course, very different from Ghana, which enjoys a tropical climate.
“Back home we usually have the most sun – it rains, yes, but we’re usually warm,” Adwoa said.
“In Northern Ireland, it rains a lot. It’s usually windy and cold, so it’s a change from the tropics, but you get used to it. I’ve bought a lot of jackets.”
Adwoa said she had sent photos of her and her friends in the snow to her father in Ghana.
“I sent a message to my dad. He’s been to Northern Ireland before, but being his son he’s happy that I’m in the snow.
