morning surprise

The view this morning. If you look closely you might see that it is flurrying as we speak!

I will always find weather forecasting amusing. It seems to me that it is really all a big show, weather forecasters don't really have the ability to predict weather all that well- and especially in regards to snow. Just look at the 5 day forecast and watch it change daily or even hourly at times. Folks, that's not forecasting, that's looking out the window and telling us what's going on...

SJ just showed me this photo of Britain on the BBC illustrating the hold that Jack Frost has over the country right now.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

one of my favorite parts of this Christmas-

constructing the incredibly colorful, incredibly crowded, incredibly unstable gingerbread farmyard :)

new year!

We're finally back in London after all our travels. We got back to London originally on the 31st of December but only stayed for New Years (met VB and ML and watched the fireworks from Hampstead Heath and had a Elijah Wood sighting), then immediately left on Jan 1 to go up to Manchester to visit SJ's parents. Phew.

We came back earlier than we planned today on the train because we got about 3 inches of snow overnight in Manchester AND the forecast for the next 5 days in London looks VERY snowy too (see below).

Should be an interesting week for us!
