It was to be a quiet weekend. No major plans. Just relax, do some laundry and catch-up on some sleep. Most of that did happen, along with a walk through the snow that fell on Saturday evening.
The snow made everything just a little bit quieter. A little bit more peaceful.
My flatmates and I decided to go for a bit of a wander through Greenwich.
Our first stop was St. Alfege Park:
We then spotted new banners up, celebrating the bestowment of 'Royal' Borough to Greenwich:
Greenwich Park was abuzz with people. It was madness. Londoners are quite similar to Vancouverites when it snows: go crazy, have a mad dash to the park to go sledding and then whine about the snow for the next two days.
Here are some of the photos I captured during our wander:
It was an unexpected group outing that included showing a snow newbie how to make a proper snowman and a farmers market in Blackheath (the neighbouring village) where they apparently build snow bunnies, not snowmen.
This last photo is one of favourites. Captured at the Ranger's House in Greenwich Park. Little cold yet welcoming at the same time.
All in all, it was another lovely weekend in London. Feeling like I made the right choice more and more every minute.
Also - I've booked a trip to Oslo, Norway. You just can't say no to a 30 GBP return trip. I think I'll need a proper winter jacket though....
