Perhaps so. A hazard too, even with sensible shoes on.
But it’s a London kind of snow. Not perfect but still lovable.
Anyway it did turn into proper snow later in the day.

Tom Gao (via contact form): No problem for checking in but I’m not planning to sell the Townsend.
Grace: What will you be reading in Oxford? It looks like a nice place to study in but I will definitely plan escapes to London whenever I can.
malin: Thank you for the feedback on the layout. This is only temporary but I don’t think I will have time to finish it before January.
graziella: No waking up to a white London. London seems to want to turn white only when it’s dark and back to grey when I wake up.
LIU Huayin: 春江花月夜和赛马，我也很喜欢。你提的其他两首曲子，我会去找找。我从小就很想学琵琶，但没实现。可能明年会在伦敦找师傅学。没太大的指望，因为我是音乐呆子。《茉莉花开》我也是飞机上看的。每回搭往新加坡的飞机就是我追看亚洲电影的时侯。章那场在马路旁生小孩的戏，把我吓死了。让我对整部电影产生了恐惧感，哈。我喜欢她唱《茉莉花》的那段，和我熟悉的曲子不太一样。如果你觉得章说话没水准，那你看见新加坡艺人的采访肯定会昏倒。《叶问》我其实也很喜欢，就如你所说得，很职业。能卖座的好电影该有的，它都有。而且叶家好漂亮！《集结号》你看了吗？我很想看。还有陈道明的连续剧《臥薪嘗膽》，自《康熙帝国》后就超迷陈道明！

I like seeing the pictures bigger. London seems to be getting more snow, we mostly have black ice and slush at the moment.
lovely pictures as usual Tommy, London doesn’t often get snow like this, especially so close to Christmas! I think my favourite pic has to be the little snow creature. Is that a snow rat?

Hi, haven’t spoken in a while! Work has been mental so my blog-reading time has seriously diminished. I see your photos are getting better and better as always. The snow looks so romantic in your photos, in SW it’s all slushy and pathetic looking.
I can’t believe London looks so magical and I’m not there to see it! Your pics must be the next best thing, thanks! Enjoy the holidays!x
ah, good, we’re all getting snow. ny had really great snow this weekend – pity so much of it came down at night while we were sleeping; watching it fall is half the fun.
i went to takashimaya pre-snow and the exact jacket i was thinking of was no longer there. i did see a similar one and the tag said Carter – Shibori (this is re. our exchange about dries van noten-esque pieces i’ve seen).
that snow man on the balcony is ♥
Happy Holidays, my dear friend! :)
oh snow looks os beautiful everywhere….and how wonderful to walk in it!! ;)) bliss.
lovely photos! we just got a bunch of snow. i was stranded at uni for a day!
Such beautiful photos! The light in the 14th and 15th pics is breathtaking. Your blog always makes me miss London terribly. Thanks for sharing these.
hello,
a london girl living in vancouver since august….following your pictures now and again quite regular…
these photos are so nostalgic and express some kind of apex in feeling…perhaps its the approaching end of a long age containing smaller cycles.your singapore photos were of a different substance,much quicker and lighter….but these are fab.they speak in a direct and whole way about the atmosphere,the is-ness,the suspense and pathos of a snowy london just before Christmas.cheers for these and wishing you and your people a peaceful holiday!!!
So different from New York. I’ve been taking black and white pictures of the park these past 2 days and posted them. Still cities and snow, I love it. (we also have some ugly brown puddles, etc…) Love your photos as always. What am I doing commenting when I’m swamped with work? Anyway have a nice and safe trip to Tokyo! And a wonderful Christmas!
It’s lovely! Soft and subtle. We had our first storm here in NYC and it was a magical wonderland for the first day. . .then it turned gray and into mush.
Awesome pix. Especially like the light in #14-16 and the 2nd last one. How did you do that with your camera? Would love to know. Thanks.
picture of the rooftops is sooooooooo goooooooodddd!
Best Wishes for a Super Christmas and for a Great * 2010 to you and AB!

those pictures are so beautiful. it never fails to amaze me when it snows in London. last week i went to hannover for the weinachtenmarkts and the second day brought me a lovely snow blanket covering the street. i still get excited every time i see snow. :)
have a wonderful christmas!
Great picture post!
Haha, well I guess you can tell a ginger is old from its errr, wrinkled appearance? Let me know when you’ve tried the drink. I just know it’ll warm you up – the way gingers always do! =)
beautiful pictures!!
and your photos make it lovable all the more!
