Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas everyone! May you all have some lovely days spent with the people you want to spent them with. (We still have snow here in the Netherlands, so it will indeed be a white Christmas for me.)

The office garden has turned into a winter wonderland. I hope the trains will keep running so I can get home.

We are experiencing a real winter at the moment with snow and frost during the day time. The birds are having hard time so they are regular visitors in the garden. Winter – December 2010 Winter – December 2010 How’s the snow situation where you are? (Oh an hi – I hope you are all [...]

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 [...]

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 playing [...]

Winter warmth Send to a friend I was drawing this yesterday night, and this morning I read the news article that seems to fit perfectly with it. A little warmth in the dark and cold times of winter and economic crises. Two German children – aged five and six – have been stopped by police [...]

Winter in IJsselstein Despite having an annoying ear infection for most of my time in Holland, I did enjoy my holidays and the lovely winter weather. A few days of frost and the Dutch massively come out with their skates. This is a picture of the ice rink in my hometown IJsselstein. It doesn’t get [...]

It’s nearly not about him at all. Really. I have done some research.

Snow in London View from my morning train … What a pleasant surprise when I walked out of the door this morning. While I was expecting palm trees to be popping out of the ground soon, London is a bit white in stead. And it’s amazing to watch the differences between a city like Aarhus [...]

Not only does Sainbury’s have the nicest cassiers (they really do, they are always friendly), they are also the most considerate supermarket in London. They really do take care of their products. (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 know that the trees don’t like it, but it is such a beautiful sight. And apart from that, it makes such a nice sound too, the clickering of the branches when the wind gently rocks them. I have been walking to work since I kissed [...]

Sneeuw in ?rhus Sneeuw in ?rhus Sneeuw in ?rhus Sneeuw in ?rhus Sneeuw in ?rhus Sneeuw in ?rhus Sneeuw in ?rhus Sneeuw in ?rhus Sneeuw in ?rhus (Klik voor grotere versie – ze zijn wat blauwig, maar dat komt omdat het al donker begon te worden en ik geen flits wilde gebruiken) Zo werd het [...]
