Snow Time

On Monday morning we woke up to a beautiful sight - a thick blanket of snow covering everything we could see. The trains were cancelled, the buses were cancelled, the schools were closed - we were effectively snowed in and it was great. It was a good 6 inches deep in the morning and it carried on snowing all day - for London, this was something pretty special.


Of course, being Brits, we all love a good moan and the radio was blaring out complaint after complaint about how crap we are for not being able to deal with a bit of snow. It seemed everyone fell into two camps - those who felt we were a total disgrace and should have been better equipped to deal with it and those who thought 'hurrah, snow, this doesn't happen very often, lets enjoy it'.

We fell into the latter group. Adrian took Freyja up to Blythe Hill which was packed with kids playing and laughing.


Afterwards, Freyja spent a good hour pottering in the garden. And then Adrian went out and made a snowman with her.


Yesterday, Freyja and I crunched through the snow to the post office and smiled at more people than ever before. Actually I always smile at people I walk past, they just don't usually smile back - but they do when it's snowing!
