Frozen Britain

This striking image taken by Nasa's Terra satellite on 7 January shows the UK deep in the clutches of the current cold snap. I have lived in the UK over 15 years and I've never seen a winter ike this before!

London Calling

Hi Everybody, Thanks for commenting even though I haven’t been so “active” on blogger recently. Although I’ve been working throughout the summer and I haven’t been away from England I’ve still managed to cut out a couple of nice holiday moments for myself and my family. My daughter and I just had a great long weekend in London where we met my lovely auntie, my cousins and their children from Italy. Although we were in 8 around the busy streets of London we had a lot of fund. The kids were enthusiastic, but my auntie was the happiest of all to be finally in London. She had such a hard life in the past few years and she really deserves a bit of fun.

We hit on all the most famous sightseeing places in London, our feet were killing us but we kept on walking. Now I leave you with a series of photos my daughter took just to show you London from our kids’ perspective. Enjoy! Above, a bit of rest in the park just after visiting the Queen's Residence! Pity she wasn't in!!!

Almost obsolete to make calls, but still an excellent symbol of London!

Trafalgar Square, the base of Nelson's Column. They tried to ride the black lions but they were too slippery!

English breakfast. What a treat!!! Surely the best of the trip!

Time to get your head chopped????

Miles and miles of Tube travelling ....

Delicious cakes at Harrod's. The kids were told off for taking this picture. So sad!

Not sure why we ended up here, but everybody seemed to be happy....

Lacoste fashion in Knightbridge, although none of us bought this....

And finally a pink cub back to the station. Cute, isn'it???
