Bonkers weather
There has really been some bonkers weather this week and as the snow and ice begin to dissapear today under pouring rain, at least I managed to have a little fun in the snow whilst on a trip with work.
Little Snowman
Big Snowman antlers
The Meridian Line
The view of the Naval College at Greenwich under a blanket of snow
I felt like I was in a winter wonderland, on holiday somewhere in the Alps not at the end of the Docklands Light Railway on the outskirts of London. It will stay in my mind for the rest of my life as a magical moment. I stood and watched as the park gradually filled up with more people, perhaps they couldn't get to work or school was closed...snowboarding, and sledging down the hill on various sledges, laughing and giggling. I thought if I was there with my children that I would have let them have a day off school, these are memories that really do last a lifetime.
By the way...if you ever drop off anyone at St Pancras - you have 2 minutes! This made me laugh as I walked past the sign.
And on a final note about bonkers weather...I thought this was such a fantastic headline "Policemen ticked off for tobogganing on shields"

Snow stops play
Well the weather has some what stopped play...I have managed to have one bike ride with my new Garmin gadget on 26th December, only doing 17 miles :-( My new Garmin gadget is brilliant and was happy to see that the 17 miles I did ride amounted to exactly 500 calories. Unfortunately my cadence is below average and shows that I obviously free-wheel far too much...must remember to keep pedaling even downhill.
My mother, who has just reach three quarters of a centuary in age said she could only remember one "white Christmas" in her lifetime. So although I love the light covering of snow on the ground and the garden and the village looks totally stunning, unfortunately I'm not having the opportunity to burn off that festive excess. Roll on Spring time and lighter evenings and longer mileage.

It wasn't me...honest!
