Settled Overnight

 

WebSnow

It has been snowing, lightly, with tiny flakes forfour hours.  But it hasn't settled, except for this old spider's web outside the kitchen window.

Eurgh

Look, its April 4th, and London is traditionally a little warmer than many other parts of the country.

So why is it snowing?

Snowy Nunhead

Last Night's Snow

Nunhead, along with other parts of the country, I suppose, was inundated last night...

Past

See this! Posted on the Nunhead Forum a few months back and just spotted... Nunhead Station in 1955.

Lots of comments on the Forum (which sometimes adopts a rather grumpy, crusty-old-man tone, rather like, er, me), about how much nicer the station was then.  I'm not so convinced...

Spawn

With the very cold winter, we had been harbouring doubts about whether the little froggies in the garden had survived, given that their pond was frozen over for some time.

Yesterday, however, I spotted some movement in the pond and a huge mass of glistening gray frogspawn.  So they've not only survived, but (...insert vaguely bad taste or lascivious comment here).

Frozen Ouse

Bedford late December.

Boxing Day: Nunhead to Bedford

It was cold, and snow was still on the ground.  We headed up for Bedford.  The roads were pretty empty...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Week Before Christmas

Snow on the Rye a week before Christmas:-

In the distance of this last image you can see the horrid Shard being built at London Bridge.

Christmas Day on the Rye

A little cold, a little damp.  It's Christmas!!
