April in London

Sunday, April 06, 2008

I woke up early this afternoon and saw this out the window:

After a whole winter of not-quite-snowing we finally get some frozen action. It's a revealing part of their psyche that the British like to call April "British summer", but only when it snows.
By the late afternoon the local kids were climbing up onto the garage roof to harvest the remaining snow, to build up a stockpile of snowballs to deploy on unsuspecting passersby in the street below.

Oh, the name and subject indices are updated to the end of March, too.

What part of London do you live in? I can't place the neighborhood, which seems to have its own style of the ubiquitous row house.

Lewisham, SE13, looking northeast toward Greenwich Observatory (except for the hill in the way). Unusually, all the houses in that photo have been stripped of their original pebbledash.
