Covered in snow!

February 9th, 2007

I know it’s been absolutely ages since I last posted anything on here – near on nine months in fact! I seem to leave most of my written blogging for when I’m on a trip – most of the time I prefer taking photos to capture a moment. My ‘photo blog’ at http://photos.neil.be is updated a lot more often :-)

Covered in snow!

Today it snowed really heavily – apparently the most snow we’ve had in a decade! As expected, the tube and trains all ground pretty much to a standstill and commuters struggled to get in to work. It took me 2 hrs 45 mins to get in – a whole 2 hours more than usual! It was great to see all the kids having so much fun building snowmen etc – it doesn’t snow that much here anymore, so it’s clearly got to be taken full advantage of when it does happen!
