A rare weekend in London

We spend so much time travelling its quite rare to have a weekend to our selves in London. This generally means doing a million things that we haven't had time to do during the week. We always love to spend time in Richmond park and by the river Thames. We are so lucky to have both at our door step. I wonder what sort of London experience we would be having with out it? We really hope it snows today or tomorrow. The conditions are there for it but I wonder if it will eventuate? This week it's dropped to around 0-5 deg from its usual almost non moving 14 deg. It was freezing when I got up for my swim at 6.30 and there was grit & salt on the road this morning. It only snows a few times in London a year, if that, so fingers crossed it happens today! It's snowing a lot up north and in the midlands. Its more a novelty for us but I'm sure for the rest of London its just a pain in the ass. We had these crazy winds on Friday that caused chaos over here, strongest in 15 years. Sal with Zoe at her 21st in a city jazz club (Heathers cousin)

The light contrasts are spectacular
Where's Wally's shadow
Looking down to Richmond on the Thames
Having a well deserved break, yes it is cold...
The sun setting on Richmond bridge
