London Today....

The snow in London has been quite incredible, lots of it and arriving and settling extremely quickly!

Despite it being forecast, it did arrive sooner than expected....and I got stranded....what should have been a 20 minute journey took over 5 hours....quite an adventure, altho not one I want to repeat anytime soon!

And the snow meant I didn't make it to Wales :(

Still, at least I'm not stuck at the airport trying to get home to friends and family like many people are....

Having had several weeks of seemingly non-stop events, Day 1 of the school holidays has been sheer bliss! Not having to get up or even go out, we watched Christmas movies, had a carpet picnic and have just finished our gingerbread houses.

Above is a real work of art....below are those by my children, works of art in their own special way of course :)

(Sorry about the picture quality!)

It's supposed to be -7 again tonight and more snow is due....Christmas movies and Baileys for me...."Love Actually", Albert Finney in "Scrooge"....and I'm working on finishing the boxset of "Grey's Anatomy" season 6 :)

Keep warm!!
