Snow n Sights

Guess who woke up with snow on their door step yesterday?

Ok, well its not that hard to guess .. that's right ... me! Little 'ol Roehampton looked quite nice, with soft snow covering the trees, streets and cars. We awoke like excitited kids on Christmas day and ran out the the park, to take photos before it all melted.

While we unemployed Aussies were having fun in the winter wonderland, half of London was trecking through the snow on their way to work, as tubes and trains were severely delayed. The papers were up in arms about it. 1 inch of snow and the whole on London stops. Its a bit of a joke hey! Truly a crazy place.

Dave and I were not detered by the chaos in our plan to do a walk of the south side of the Thames. Sure it was cold, sure it was crazy but we did it! And I truly was so glad to be out of the house! I was going mental!! With my London lonely planet in hand (big thanks to Craig for this very helpful gift :) and lots of layers we ventured out. The aim was just to have a sqwiz at some of the sights. I hope to go back and do some tours at a later date, when I am earning some ponders. But it was so nice, just to enjoy the out doors. Its a bit surreal seeing Big Ben, Tower Bridge etc. Feels like I have been here before, but I think it is just all the photo's I have seen of others little journeys to the mother land!

It was a lovely day, finished off with a nice curry and a bottle of red at home.

Thinking of you all on the eve of Australia Day. We are a blessed nation. Keep praying for our great south land, that they Holy Spirit will continue to be an evident force in our communities and nation. We still have hope! London feels very hopeless and Godless. May we not follow in their footsteps!

Go the green and gold
