Lazy Sunday in Hampstead

Yesterday, I had a lazy Sunday. I lied in bed till 11:00 then I received a phone call from one of my friend asking me out for lunch. I need a lot of sleep as I don't sleep much during weekdays, but I manage get up and enjoy rest of my Sunday.


We had a meal together in Hampstead. There is not as much people on the street after a shower. I walked across the road and I saw a car driving towards me, I quickly take a snap of that scene. I like the way the road being built, teamed with the red car towards me.


After the meal, I have passed by the Hamspead Heath where I stopped to have a walk. I sat at the benches by the Hampstead Ponds. There are a lot of birds swimming in the ponds and also some pigeons looking for food. I gave them some bread, in return, they posed nicely where I took some pictures of them.


From the view, I can also see a swan swimming. We all need to be a swan. An elegant swan swimming up stream, one who looks beautiful and serene on the surface and underneath, is paddling away like made to stop being pulled backwards downstream with the flow of the water in the opposite direction.

Snowing in London


Today is 6th April, and it is snowing. I did heard that it will be sleety shower over night but I didn't expecting a heavy snow. It reminds me the big freeze of 63 in which the whole country being under subzero degree Celsius (°C) for two consecutive months.

I wish I could be in that year, it might be so much fun. I can find excuse not to go to school, or go to work. But if I really think about it, I am so lucky not to experience that..

So today I have to stay in underneath the duvet, or in front of fireplace with a cup of nice warm tea. I do love snow, it is so beautiful and peaceful. Watching some children plyaing with the snow, I wish I could join them. I dislike the ice when the snow starts melting, which might be dangerous.

I have read the news and it says the worst hit of snow is in North England in County Durham and Northumberland where the snow is 6cm (1.8 inch) in place. It might be more snow to come.
