Hyde Park’s Winter Wonderland

My mom was supposed to arrive today and stay for two weeks but due to all the snow that fell on Saturday, Heathrow closed and her flight was cancelled.   We had planned to take her to Hyde Park’s Winter Wonderland but Brody and I decided to go without her.

Hyde Park is a mile from our place and has been a favorite running destination since we moved in. At the Winter Wonderland we tried the Christmas favorites including mulled wine, pretzels and German sausage. The Wonderland plays host to lots of rides and even a haunted Christmas house, which we decided was too scary for us. 

Snowfall

They say its been the coldest December since records began in 1910.  Its already snowed 3 times since we’ve been here but today, the Saturday before Christmas and busiest travel day before Christmas has been the biggest snow fall so far.  I thought it was beautiful but I didn’t have anywhere I needed to be.  I went for a long run in the morning and by the time I got home it was snowing so hard I could barely keep the snow out of my eyelashes so I could see.   We spent the rest of the day walking around the neighborhood and stopping for groceries.  

I took this picture on the main road we live on, Holland Park Avenue.
I love the red double decker buses with the white snow.
