Blizzarded ramble

The other day I did a walk in the snow. It was a sponsored walk to raise money for my trip to Svalbard in 2011. And yes, I picked probably one of the snowiest and coldest days I remember. Good practice. Sadly we couldn't get a train anywhere, so we ended up walking alongside the Thames.
However, it led to some of the most beautiful scenes I have ever seen in London. These were taken around the nearest park, a sunny childhood haunt, here almost unrecogniseable to me. We couldn't even see the other side of the Thames.
I really enjoyed the walk for the sake of it, but I hope it will also help me somewhat towards my target of £3000. Sure.
I love how these photos look almost black and white. Frosty, frosty.
For some strange, irrelevant reason, it reminds me of Voices in the Park, by Anthony Browne.

Collars


 Shirt from topshop, £18.
T-shirt from H&M sale, peter-pan style collar added by me.
A little bit of frosting, a little bit of carol singing, why I am feeling quite in the mood for christmas.
