Let it Snow! ( 7 photos )
It has arrived a little late, but our "White Christmas" has finally arrived! There's a few new stories at places like this, which will tell you that we have had two inches of snow in Central London - the highest in nine years!
I went out for a walk at lunch time and it was amazingly beautiful. Had a snowfight in the courtyard outside work, and then trudged slowly and carefully off to get some food from the local Spittalfields Market.
There's a huge amount of black ice around, so you have to be very careful - my hiking boots are proving not to be too useful with their large amounts of flat sole, and as such my knees are taking a battering. Still, no complaints here! Bring on the snow!
In other news, we have all but decided to sell Percy now - he's proving too expensive to keep. The only problem now is how to sell him when we can't let people out for a test drive while he is not insured. I'm sure we will work something out.
Liz and Margaret went to the Savoy Theatre this afternoon to watch HMS Pinnafore, but it was part of Margaret's Chirstmas present from us. I am going to try to convince her to write a bit about it later on.
No other real news, except make sure you keep an eye on the photos page for lots of snow pictures.
