Overnight we have had our first real snow of the winter in London and here are some photos of the garden this morning.
As I look out on the garden and admire the beauty of the scene I spare a thought for those for whom this is not a beauty of nature but for whom snow and extreme weather is a serious risk to their lives; to those whose journies will be disrupted today.
“The fact that a cloud from a minor volcanic eruption in Iceland—a small disturbance in the complex mechanism of life on the Earth—can bring to a standstill the aerial traffic over an entire continent is a reminder of how, with all its power to transform nature, humankind remains just another species on the planet Earth.”
