Snow
Sunday 24th January 2021
It actually snowed today in London. Just a one off it seems but enough to make some modest snowmen.

As the snow started to fall in the back garden.

10:56:13
Erika out in the back garden enjoying the snow.

10:56:18

10:56:24

10:56:40
Nice covering on the planter thing already.

10:56:44
The bay tree and olive tree looking festive.

13:35:25
Heading out into the neighbourhood to see how much snow had settled.

13:35:29

13:44:27
In our nearby churchyard we set about building a little snowman.

14:00:19
There he is. Face looks a bit weird but then they always do. It was a nice group effort.

14:00:35
Erika and our snowman.

14:02:28

14:02:31

14:24:56
The girls went inside after a bit but I decided to head to the heath to see what the snow was like there.

14:26:53

14:30:16

14:36:00
Lovely on the heath with a dusting of snow!

14:36:45
The bandstand in the snow.

14:37:13

14:37:29
Lots of people had made snowmen.

14:37:41

14:38:19

14:38:46
The slopes of Parliament Hill covered in snow.

14:38:47

14:39:35
A very leafy snowman.

14:40:57
Lots of people atop Parliament Hill.

14:41:02
Some more impressive snowmen.

14:43:03

14:43:09
Lots of people out sledging.

14:43:28
A photographer presumably here to take photos of the crowds and provoke outrage on Twitter.

14:44:39

14:44:43

14:45:42
The wooded bit looking lovely in the snow.

14:45:47

14:45:49

14:46:44
The barrow amidst the snow.

14:47:08

14:47:53
Lovely.

14:49:47
I sat here for some time enjoying the scenery. Surprisingly didn't feel particularly cold.

14:52:38

14:56:07

15:00:07

15:15:55

15:18:35

15:22:25

15:35:25

15:51:16
The sky cleared ever so slightly for a while so I could also see some hint of the sunset.

15:55:12

15:55:19

15:57:24
Nice glimpses of pink clouds above the snow.

16:01:31

16:09:16

16:37:33
I suddenly felt like making my own snowman. The snow was a bit muddy here but here is the result.

16:37:43
I liked to think of it more of a snow druid, given the location next to the barrow.

16:39:16
Snow druid by the barrow.

16:41:26

16:41:35

16:43:14
Me and snow druid.

16:43:46

16:44:38

16:51:25
Somebody skiing!

16:51:35

16:54:38

16:56:58

16:56:59

16:58:01

16:59:35

17:00:35
I left for a bit to answer a call of nature, thus these parting shots.

17:01:48

17:03:12
Highgate in the distance.

17:06:30

17:07:42

17:07:44
The snowy woods.

17:08:24

17:16:22
Went back again to adorn the snow druid with a sort of head dress of holly, albeit a bit difficult to see here.

17:16:33

17:16:47
Ultimately I used the flash because you couldn't see the holly otherwise.

17:17:33

17:19:11
Finally leaving the barrow now.

17:20:45
Very nice walking back through the woods in the gloaming, and still surprisingly not so cold.

17:21:48

17:23:11
Probably the tweed cap made all the difference.

17:28:17
The London skyline as I was leaving.
