London Snow

This week we saw our first proper London Snow. I woke up, went to the kitchen put the kettle on and looked out the window. “My word we have had a heavy frost, hang on that is not frost.” The cars were completely white, the lawn was white and the road was white but for the tracks from the first couple of early morning cars.

While I was looking out onto the white lawn below a fox ran past sniffing around in the snow, leaving a trail of footprints in the fresh snow. We dressed as warmly as we could and rushed off to the park to take some pictures, arriving late at work – you know transport difficulties.

Greenwich Park with snow is a different place; people greet one another; the dogs cavort even more than usual and the pace is so much slower.

Here are some of our photographs…
