Christmas in the Capital...

Things have turned distinctly frosty this festive season!


London is usually enveloped in a deluge of dreary drizzle come the yuletide, but 2010 has seen a double-thick duvet of snow draped across the city. The weather has (for once!?!) performed beautifully - the Siberian-sharp air and treacherous pavements feel oh so right when Christmas is just around the corner!


The scene from our roof terrace...





So what if the city grinds to a halt, transport ceases to run and the retail sector is faced with a cataclysmic loss of foot-fall!?! It is supposed to be cold during winter and so I for one am thankful for the freezing conditions...


Not my handiwork I must confess...


On the big day itself, we even managed to go sledging on Parliament Hill – too Disney for words!!! Kept looking at the ground in wonderment, as my Hunter-clad feet crunched through crispy snow. In London! At Christmas-time!!!



Here are some of 2010’s festive flourishes direct from the G-M homestead...







Boat drinks snowflakes!!!
