Snow in London town

Fans,

There was plenty of snow in London today. It started snowing on Sunday evening and carried on all night really...and most of Monday too. We had around half a foot of snow at our place in Islington. True to form, London strained, cracked and eventually imploded - no buses at all in London, very few overland trains in and out of London, only half of the underground was working, all of the airports were closed for part of the day at least...awesome.

Apart from that, there were some snowmen on steroids in Highbury Fields and a very cold dog outside the supermarket...someone had tied it up while they did their shopping and it was just about a small polar bear by the time they came out again!

Good news is it's supposed to get worse tonight, then "clear" midweek and do it all over again before the weekend. Happy days.

Here are some snaps from our 'hood. Brrrrrrrr...

The Famous Cock

Engagement Drinks

On Sunday 25 January, we had our engagement drinks at The Famous Cock pub in Islington. The Famous Cock is one of our favourite local pubs, and since it is situated basically on top of a tube station, it seemed like a logical choice of venue. The Famous Cock staff had set aside a section at the front of the pub for us, which was good, as it was actually pretty busy that day.

Despite a pretty average day weather wise, everyone who could, made the effort to come along and enjoy some Famous Cock action. We really enjoyed catching up with everyone and would like to thank everyone for coming along. We also got some amazing presents, so a big thank you to all the kids for those!!!
