Last night and today we had snow in London, the rest of the UK has been hit very badly, particularly Scotland, but in London its quite a novelty to have snow that settles. The media are in a snow frenzy, they have even got a news special tonight on BBC1 called "Frozen Britain" as Kent Brockman in the Simpson's would say, "This news story is so big it has it's own title and theme music!"
Above is blurry picture of me in the snow this afternoon - I had to take it of myself so that's why its blurred. I had been walking home from Wimbledon for about 1o minutes when I took it so that's about 10 minutes worth of snow on my hat.
Below is a picture of the church on the corner of Latimer Road and the start of the Broadway in Wimbledon, the snow was coming down at a fair pace by then.
Below is a picture of the traffic lights on Trinity Road and Broadway in the snow. I hope these pictures of snowy Merton entertain you ;-)
It is amazing though how the most ordinary, mundane urban scenes can be transformed into something magical with a sprinkling of snow.

I really like this picture of you with the snowy hat, Natalie, it looks very Victorian, like something out of a Kate Greeneaway book!
Thank you Margit
