Snowing in London again! Wimbledon Common.

Posted on December 17, 2010 by smudgetikka

Wow so much snow this year, and more to come tomorrow.

This is so unusual I had to rush out and capture it on Wimbledon Common, looking foreward to the heavier fall tomorrow but then I am one of the fortunate ones and I know the shops won’t run out of supplies and I won’t be trapped in my home for long so I am sympathetic to those in the extremes of the country with far worse weather and hope they manage to enjoy the snow as well.

Loving the enterprise!

In my local park a bunch of kids set up a snowball shop with these perfectly formed snowballs. Not that they managed to sell any when I was there but the thought is what counts!

And here is Smudgetikka’s new winter look,

By the way, those perfect snowballs are made with one of these below, you can find them on Amazon and snow sports shops but be warned they pack the snow pretty tight and can hurt if thrown with force.

Look what I found today

On Wimbledon Common in the middle of a field I came upon this tree.

I love that someone has bothered to decorate this fir knowing that the decorations may be taken. How generous is that. The first snow in London this winter as well, what a day.
