Winter Wonderland

One little snowfall, and the whole city shuts down! No buses, no Undergound, just feet!

Little did I know, so it was up as usual, and trudging off to work through the snow and over the ice. Everywhere I walked, the city was transformed. The street and pavements had disappeared, I was leaving deep footprints, and people were snowboarding down the staircase at Hungerford Bridge.

It took me a long time to get to the office, both because of the treacherous terrain, but also because I had to keep stopping to take photos! I even took a detour through Trafalgar Square especially. 

Nelson's poor lions, muzzled with snow...
