let it snow









We had a fabulous snow fall on Monday, apparently the heaviest in 18 years. Today was lovely and sunny - warmish even. Two days later it still lies heavy on the ground in the parks, on cars, roof tops etc. Beautiful. It reflects the light on dull days and makes everything look bright, clean, fresh and new - even in North London. The spit, gum and grime are obliterated. And in many places it is compacted leaving a layer of ice over an inch thick on roads and footpaths - absolving me of any moral (read: getting fit) obligation to cycle and giving me a good laugh seeing people slip, slither and slide. Just tempted fate. It will be me next.

These pictures taken on my way to work (in our road, central London) and in our allotment that afternoon)
