Simon the Snowman

I do think Simon looks a bit like a gentleman with his scarf, black hat and red heart shaped buttons. And he is still standing!
I finally had the time to sort out the photos I took over Christmas, New Year and here back in London.

Snowman in London

When you finally get snow in the UK, you have to make a snow man. So I challenged my friend in Devon to do the same thing and send in photographic evidence.
The above one is the one I made this morning. Lucky I took a picture of it as it has already been [...]

When I came home from Devon last night, London looked white. This morning I woke up to even more snow, which caused all buses to be cancelled, the tube came to a halt, lots of trains cancelled, airports struggling (Heathrow is closed), schools are closed, and children are having the time of their lifes [...]

(Sorry for the blurry picture, I still have to get used to the autofocus feature on my mobile.)

The trees wrapped in ice (Click for larger version)

I have been walking to work since I kissed my [...]
