It was cold but interesting, before the snow melts away. American cemetry was amazing. Ice breaking punts seemed in demand - madness!

A Snowy Day in Histon

Took a stroll to get the Sunday paper yesterday, just to see what the snow was like so took the camera along.  Lots of snowmen and other fin on the Histon Green.

Just reflections of the snow by The Green (well not today) 
Just to prove that the Red Lion is just as inviting when it snows.

Intersting Day in London last Sunday

The intention was to "do" the Chinese New Year celebrations - wow what crowds, didn't even get close to most of the action so a little disapponted with the results (understatement).

The crowds were just too much so a quick walk along the South Bank




and finally to the Tate Modern
