Snow Day!!!

We have six inches of snow here. This isn't an awful lot on the grand scheme of things (especially not to my Canadian readers), but London is USDA Zone 9a. Things have ground to a halt the same way they would if Miami, San Antonio or Los Angeles were under half a foot of snow with more forecast. We rarely get snow, and it hardly ever settles in the city.

So this is what met me at 7.30am when I was making the morning tea and coffee:


This is outside the back door. On the left are my proteas under fleece, and on the right are the few succulents and spikeys I have!


You can see the depth of snow quite well on my little patio table, and it's all drifted up against the pots:


But this little chappy was quite at home:


The apple tree looked gorgeous in the snow:


Hubster and I are having sausage butties for breakfast, and then heading out to make snow-dinosaurs. Both our offices are shut down as the tubes are out, the buses are all cancelled and only a nutter would drive a 1.1 engine Punto in this weather!
