Although London weather can be quite grey and uninspiring I love driving through the different boroughs that have displayed their Christmas Lights and signs.The lights in the trees and around the lampposts brighten up the place and add colour to a dull landscape.
We normally have some amount of snow around the Christmas season, if not in December then in Jan and some years Feb(I'm sure I remember a frosty March on year too!!)
When the show is falling and is freshly covering the ground, it looks so nice and almost romantic - not when the sun is shining on it though(ouch migraines!!- then I end up looking all pretentious wearing sunglasses in the snow) - But when it starts turning black and slushy...errrrrrr yuck!
I hate the ice too, no fun pushing a pushchair through the icy streets, slipping, sliding and trying to stay upright, but I have my winter tracks ready this year lol
Here's a few snowy pics from the past few years:
hmmmmmm I must have deleted the snowy garden pics I had before when my phone storage was low I can only find these;

Here's a couple of collages with borrowed pics showing the London snow and street lights.
Of to have a good nosey at everyone's hometowns.
Love it. My dream has always been to visit England, so I'm living vicariously through you all LOL
ReplyDelete:) It's funny how we tend to like the place where others live. I love the US and can't wait to visit again. I also love visiting Europe and the West Indies.
DeleteI hope you get to visit England soon. I like to be a tourist for the day and enjoy things that people visit/see/do when they visit London.
I have always wanted to travel to London, it looks just beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice place. It can get very busy but it's fun too.
DeleteSunglasses in the snow is a necessity if the sun shines! Hope we get some snow soon.
ReplyDeleteyes, very!! The boys too are hoping for snow. It always surprises me when people say they have never seen snow, like my family in Jamaica. I just take it for granted that it's a normal seasonal occurrence.
DeleteI LOVE your photos and want to visit London desperately some day!! There are things about England (from photos I have seen) that remind me a little of where I live...probably a lot related to the weather and nature. However, there is a charm and culture and beauty to England and London in particular, that is nothing like where I live! I will go exploring one day. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHope you realise your travelling dreams soon.
DeleteThank you for sharing these beautiful pictures of your home - ours, of course, is nothing like this!!
ReplyDelete:) welcome
DeleteI used to love seeing all the lights all over London....nothing quite so special! And walking down Embankment, with those Victorian lights lit up in Winter? So romantic! [Love your weird-looking snowman!]
ReplyDeletelololol, that snowman!! we couldn't find anything for his eyes so had to use walnuts.
Deletedeffo nothing like London Lights.
Thanks for sharing. Visiting London is on my bucket list for one day...your pictures have inspired me to maybe one day be able to come around Christmas time. :)
ReplyDeleteYesss, Christmas in London would be a great time for you to visit. If you get a chance, visit blackpool and see the lights(or illuminations as they call it) there.
DeleteYour snowman made me smile! He looks like he's peeking over the fence having a nice look at someone's Christmas lights. I am sure London is absolutely gorgeous during the holiday! One day, I hope to experience England for myself. It seems dreamy to think of spending Christmas in a little cottage with a warm fireplace...I've watched too many movies, but I like hanging on to that dream :)
ReplyDeletelol, yes he does look like he's having a good nosey over the fence :)
DeleteI hope you get to visit England one day. Ooooo the cottage sounds lovely.
