A walk on the Heath...

The weather took a turn for the better last night and I went for a walk on Hampstead Heath to clear my head after staying holed up all day shying away from the damp outside, what a beautiful evening it was.  In my rush to get out into the outside world I neglected to bring a "real camera" with me, but, to quote Chase Jarvis, the best camera you have is the one you have with you.  Amen.

Here's to my iPhone and it's rather average camera (it's a 3Gs), for being there and enabling me to capture the beauty of the Heath in silhouette...

There's no business like snow business...

...especially when you live near "The Heath" and get to see great people like Tom here.... yes, it's the middle of London and yes, he is on ski's... Tom was one of the lucky ones, he got a "snow day" today, and what else would you do with a snow day but think "I know, I'll get my ski's out and head off to Parliament Hill" right?  Right?!

No me either but that's only because I don't own ski's, and I thinkTom is a legend for doing this.  Cheers, I hope you had fun, and here is proof for your disbelieving flatmates,, right here!

As well as the lovely Tom, there were other people making the most of the snow - like this man, he's an animator by trade, and he is by far wearing the most inadequate clothing for the FREEZING temperatures outside (and he knew it!).  But kudos to him for owning the most old school sledge I have seen in recent years.... love it!

Last but not least, and I couldn't not mention them since they are what make the Heath what it is... the dogs!  Loving the snow, and going generally MENTAL over it, eating it, rolling in it, barking at it and running around in circles.  I wish I had a dog...

oh hello...

This is Annie...she's a good girl, she liked a big cuddle.  I wanted to take her back with me.  Owner say's nope no way!
