BIG NEWS!!

Well ok, so not that big, but we had about 1cm of snow in London yesterday.

Below are the least blurred shots of my walk to work - Hyde Park was just made to be snowed on.

Catch-up time!!

First giggle-fest of the new year... with milkshakes!! Phase one of my cunning plan to have all my friends move to London is underway!!

Japan photos: winter 2006-2007

Hey everyone,

well I'm back from Japan now and just about over the jetlag... below are a selection of photos, roughly in chronological order from the bottom up (see if you can spot yourselves!!)

I had a brilliant trip, it was great to have some quality time with old friends (and one in particular ;) ) and just to relax and have a real break from work and enjoy being back in Aomori.

I'm back at work and throwing myself into 2007 with abandon... expect more bloggable happenings than last year!!

I even managed to treat myself to a real Fukaura sunset - so rare in the winter!

It was stunning weather going down to Fukaura - no snow at all!
