When the Underground won’t do, Suw takes the Tardis

When the Underground won’t do, Suw takes the Tardis, originally uploaded by Kevglobal.

We had to get back to our north London flat from BBC’s Television Centre. We couldn’t face the hour-long journey on the Underground so the Beeb kindly loaned us the Tardis. Fingers crossed that we end up in Holloway in the 21st Century and not some barren planet centuries in the future or centuries ago in the midst of a medieval battle. Fingers crossed. We might have to call the Doctor.

Waking up to more of the white stuff in London

More snow in north London, originally uploaded by Kevglobal.

It doesn’t look like this will cause too much (more) travel chaos in London, but outside of the Big Smoke, it looks like it’s going to shut down the country yet again. I love it. I can’t really believe that some local authorities are running out of grit after only a few days of this. I guess it shows how rare this..

Coots on the fly

The Great London Blizzard of ‘09, originally uploaded by Kevglobal.

I was shutter-bugging on my way into work today. Public transport in London wasn’t transporting much of the public due to the ‘extreme weather event’ or what one more used to snow might call a good few inches of the white stuff. Due to the aforementioned extreme weather, I walked to work. The weather seemed to have got the coots in the canal a little flustered and they were thrashing about or in this case skipping across the water.
