According to one member here, The snow in London was frightful today and everyone stayed home from work and school. So LPSG members in London...How did you spend the day?
On here, of course! Well, not the whole day, but more than usual, lol.
It was very pretty out there though. It was big-flaked "sticky" snow, so it settled well and coated the branches of trees. Some kids built a really good snowman in my street, complete with hat and scarf. Buses didn't run until late in the day, so lots of people didn't bother trying to get to work.
I dug out my hiking boots and burberry check scarf (deeply unfashionable now, but
everybody seemed to get one for christmas this year, and we all wear them with a faint air of embarrasment) and trudged to the shops. There was hardly any traffic, the air was good and fresh and people seemed brighter and more alive than usual. The parks were full of kids having fun with the snow.
Today the sun is out and the sky is blue. There's bit of a thaw now and the transport system is running again. It was good while it lasted.
