I have added some new pictures to my photoblog: http://www.photoblog.com/dreadwear.

They were taken on Boxing day when I, Sam and Oliver and Nana and Louis all decided to brave the weather that day and go to Covent Garden.

Oh what fools. It was so cold, so horribly viciously cold that we all managed to stick it out there for a too long half an hour! Yep, all the way from Enfield and Bounds Green to walk as quickly as we possibly could through the plaza, round the very few stalls that were there on the day and to listen to one lonely song from a couple of very brave opera singers. Then we just had to mad dash it back to the station and home to Nanas house for a slap-up meal.

I took a lot of photos, but not many were really worth keeping. Just those that are now on my photoblog and here is one to adorn this post.




This is a picture of the Enfield Lock Train station underpass. I don't know what made me photograph it, it is really not very picturesque at all. BUT I think I have now managed to capture the bleak coldness of Boxing Day by turning the picture into a black and white one, whilst keeping the air and the outside blue. And believe me, the weather was blue!

I wish now that I had taken pictures of Nana's delicious vegetarian curry that warmed me up perfectly later that evening. It would have been a great 'hot and cold' set of pictures. But hey. I forgot!

Regardless of how cold it was, it was a great day none-the-less. I think BECAUSE it had been so uncomfortably cold, we really did then appreciate the warmth and cosiness of being at home with good food and good company.

A great Boxing Day!
