Snow!

01/24/2021 //  by Michelle//  2 Comments

Coming down hard enough to show off those tractor treads on my new Grubs boots. And it kept on coming as I walked down the road to my path onto the heath. I’ll take you down.

Once on the heath I was positively mobbed by snowmen. I have never seen so many of them. What is it that makes humans, no matter what their age, unable to resist rolling lovely virgin snow into all too often grubby snowmen?

A snow family…

A rather glamorous snow couple…

And a snow dog! In fact, it turned out, that it wasn’t this dog’s owners who had built the snow dog – but they were all happy to adopt it for this finely posed portrait.

Across on Parliament Hill it was, I fear, somewhat rammed – although all of those excited sledgers were well fairly socially distanced.

Back home in the garden, the snow was still clinging thickly on the apple tree and a bird was certainly not allowing the snow to silence him. As always, I tried, unsuccessfully, to find him – but I did catch a robin who sat first on a branch and then moved down for a good feed on the ‘De luxe robin crumble’.

A recent casualty in Kenwood woods. I wonder what A recent casualty in Kenwood woods. I wonder what caused it to fall as we have not really had any strong winds. Mind you - those roots look as though they are oilfield not hold up a daffodil so I guess it was just waiting to happen. #walksonhampsteadheath #hampsteadheath #londonparks #lockdownwalk #hampsteadlife #londontrees #myhampsteadheath #fallentrees #kenwoodhouse @kenwood_house_hamsptead_heath
A perfect set of allotment sheds- seen in Fitzroy A perfect set of allotment sheds- seen in Fitzroy Park yesterday. More on the allotments and on the London Bowling club in my Walks blog. Link in bio. Imagine - the bowling club only had two green keepers between 1901 and 1956. The second one, Mr Gunn, did 20 years which means that Mr Henderson, the first one, did 35 years!
