Snow!!!!

[gaijingirl]

Right now would be a great time for anyone with a camera to wander the streets and get lovely night time snowscape pictures.

actually we're just off for a walk to do just that - problem being we're both crap at taking photos - but we're off nonetheless....

That's a lovely one. No snowmen yet?

Snowmen... with spliffs. This is Brixton, after all.

I had problems like that with snow on my tv. I bought a new one

I just got back from driving hendo to Stockwell tube station. It was NOT fun - never driven in snow before and there was loads of it.

Have the gritters been out at all?

There were two people strolling through the park taking photos just now. Wasn't you was it?

I'm amazed at how bright the evening is. Normally you can't see into the park at night, but it's very bright.

That's what I figured. Especially as the light is so orange.

I wish I was better at taking pictures so I could capture it better. It's lovely out there.

Yes.. that was us.. there's actually quite a few people up there. When we got to the tennis courts they were pristine - completely untouched - with a fox sitting right in the middle of court no. 1!

Took loads of photos, but they're not on my memory card - they're on the camera memory and I don't know how to transfer it.

If it's thick tomorrow we're taking skis and trays (we don't have a sled..) up..

I'm the same, and I'm absolutely useless at taking pictures at night. They all come out fuzzy

We were waiting to cross the road outside Sainsburys at the top of the hill about 4pm, and a gritter went past us ... doing nothing.

I didn't even know Lambeth owned gritters. It seems such a terribly... rural thing to do.

they gritted recently, I remember central Brixton being gritted but nothing (except bus stops) else being gritted. Maybe it's TFL that do the bus stops?

What a wardrobe?

I believe you are correct, in the same way that railway platforms are often gritted by the railway companies before the roads are.

I remember, as a child in Somerset, seeing the 'gritters' going by - but only after the snow, not before. They consisted of a flatbed lorry with a pile of salt/sand/grit mix, and a bored council worker with a shovel standing in the back, chucking a heap out every 20ft or so and hoping the traffic distributed it.

Narnia was in the wardrobe, not the other way round

God no, you know you're truly rural if the council can't get the gritters out to you (or if it costs too much for them to bother )

 

[Mrs Magpie]

There have been happy squeals from the kids next door playing out right up till about half an hour ago

 

[madamv]

Mr V just told me they have closed Gatwick...

I said there are some pics on here, wanna come see? Nah, he said, I wanna wait til I can see it in my own back garden. He is such an 8 year old....

It wasn't in the wardrobe at all - there was a door from the back of the wardrobe into Narnia.... and IIRC they return back through a door into the wardobe from Narnia on their return having grown old in Narnia but only missed a short while in this world.

New Park Road appears to be a 'priority 2', ie we'll do it if there's anything left in the back of the truck, and my street appears to be a priority 'screw you'. Hardly rural

 

[gaijingirl]

please please please close my school.....

yes, but they had to go INTO the wardrobe to get out the back of it
