So far, no snow, but when I was on the train on Wednesday I wondered if I would get back without seeing some of the white stuff.
It is too cold to take many photos as my fingers lose their feeling. But here is the palace of Westminster from the South Bank yesterday afternoon.
A Winter’s Day
It made me think of Simon and Garfunkel. You remember, this song, a nice mix of John Donne and the sixties:
I plan to visit Mother this afternoon, taking a book of poetry for her and a CD of Christmas music. Maybe I should have got her some more vests. They may be her New Year’s present.

Golly, that does look cold. I love snow – miss not getting it here. Hope you get some there (may as well get the benefit of it when it is that cold).
I don’t know about that. Travel chaos, slippery pavements. It does look nice though.
I like ‘snow’ like that. It doesn’t cause the same chaos.
I am surprised we haven’t had any. The skies was full of it yesterday, and just ten minutes out of Waterloo on Wednesday I was sure it was going to snow. The sun didn’t brighten up until 3.
Looks wonderful. It has snowed here overnight but it is due to be mild later.
Supposedly milder here today, but we have rain threatened, and there is a nasty cold wind.
Beautiful pic. And music 🙂
Thanks. The opening words of the song seemed right, though maybe Hazy Shade of Winter wild have been more appropriate.
Enjoy your visit. do you think we may get some snow soon? I hope so. Miles is depressed that it’s raining out. He would not go far on his morning walk and I’m thinking our long walk is a no go today.
I think the temperature is set to rise for the next few days, so snow is unlikely. See what the bookies are offering!
please have snow so *I* can enjoy having snow, Isobel!
Fortunately, it is not down to me Laurel!
hee hee!
No snow in Missouri! 60 degrees here today and the wind is crazy. We had a half inch of rain which we needed because of the ourcontinued drought. Your picture, I love the look of those winter kind of days but hold the snow. I am not a lover of snow.
Very mild here today, though I don’t know the actual temperature. I went out without a coat and was hot! I dislike falling on ice…
I love the atmosphere of the picture. really!!
Thank-you!
I love the way you framed Westminster in the cold, with London Eye
The weather is now mild. Hard to imagine it was so cold just a week ago.
