Christmas has arrived early in London! We have had 3 consecutive days of snowing, which is a completely new experience for Bernie and I. The snow is beautiful and soft and really brightens up the gloomy winter days. Frosty the snowman above (also called "Softy" by my little buddy Theo who made the snowman with me) was built on the 3rd day on the balcony of their flat.
This photo was taken on the first day when it snowed.
On the first day....
Two days later....
The park nearby was completely covered in snow in just two days.
However beautiful, it did not last long. The snow all melted away on the weekend, which is actually to our relieve. The sudden snowy weather had caused major disruptions to travel-road and airport closures, train cancellations etc and on a personal level, I fell on my fat arse after slipping on ice, leaving me with a bruised bottom and sore neck. Looks like we will still make our flight on Monday with a good forecast of a clear day with no snow. YAY..
We are now officially on holiday for two weeks! Off to Zurich before lounging at Lake Como for one week before a week of skiing in Davos (or more of an attempt at skiing on my behalf- no black runs for me, unlike my expert husband). We will be joined by our best mates from Melbourne on this holiday, which makes it extra special. Cannot wait... our very first white Christmas.
