Greenwich in the Snow
There in spirit, at least...Would you Adam & Eve it? I go away for two days. TWO DAYS. And Greenwich becomes some kind of Snow Paradise - just for long enough for everyone to enjoy it before melting away to nothing for my arrival home.
My cab driver regaled me with stories of taking his kids tobogganing in four-inches of snowy loveliness (though judging from Benedict's photo, he may have been exaggerating...) but all I saw was the odd stubborn patch left on parked cars. Pah.
Luckily you have come to my rescue - thank you to Benedict, Mike and Ros...
So. Tell me - was it really as fab as my cabbie said? (I don't care if he was exaggerating by the way - he also gave me a top tip for a new place to check out, so I'll forgive him a spot of hubris - watch this space...) What did you get up to to celebrate the short flowering of the Snow Season?

Got up at 7,looked out the landing window and screamed "SNOOOOOOW!"like a demented toddler, forced my wife to get up too, then trudged all over Greenwich going "ooh! ahh!!" fantastic. The park turned into some sort of amateur photographers paradise, I have never seen so many people taking pictures without a celebrity in the area!
It did look lovely; and the amount of snowmen too!
It was superb!
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw snowboarders flying down a couple of the hills!
Had a great time sledging with Kids down main hill in front of Observatory. 4" for sure - although it was nearly all gone by 14:00 - Slopes alive with all kinds of devices being employed - great fun. Did anyone see the full-size igloo constructed near the Anglo-Saxon mounds - may even be still there !!
I didn't see the igloo but I did see a brilliant snowman on the Heath with twigs for hair!
