Snow in London Town

Several hours of heavy snowfall yesterday transformed our drab London suburb into a snow-covered spectacle. The main road outside our window struggled to cope with desperate Christmas shoppers trying to get home.



24 hours on and little has changed:









We took the underground into central London to sample the festive mood:


The fountains in Trafalgar Square almost completely frozen over.



And the 4th plinth sporting a snazzy giant ship-in-a-bottle.





We enjoyed a lovely wander through the Christmas market on the South Bank.







And warmed ourselves up with a delicious German bratwurst!

A village just a few miles away from my parents recorded the lowest temperature in the UK last night: -19C!!

Currently warmed up to about -7 or so now...
