Morning Snow In Willesden

I woke up this morning to see a beautiful light covering of snow in Willesden, the area in London where I currently live. Because it was so cold, minus 4 degrees Celsius to be exact, light snow feel instead of the usual misty rain that we usually get.

It doesn’t snow that often here so I just had to go out and take some photos. The snow fell ever so lightly, very beautiful indeed. Here’s a photo of my street where you can see the light covering of snow on the road and parked cars.

Bath, Stonehenge & Winchester

Today we went on a day tour by coach and visited the city of Bath, Stonehenge and the city of Winchester. Our first stop was Bath, a historic city with beautiful limestone buildings and the Great Bath, a well preserved ancient Roman bath.

Next was Stonehenge (pictured below), the famous prehistoric monument believed to have been built prior to 2500 BC. It’s just mind boggling thinking about how these massive stones could have been moved and erected such a long time ago when modern construction equipment as we know it today did not exist.

Last on the list was Winchester, another historic city and home to the beautiful Winchester Cathedral. It was originally built in 1079 is said to be the longest cathedral in Europe.
