I wrote this a month ago...wonder why I didn't post it....
As winter knocks at my doorstep, people seem to sulk more but I am happy to experience it all, the dreadfully dull days, the cold wind and rain, the snow, the Christmas shopping crowds, the tube rush hour...
Yesterday, while walking down a quiet London Street I couldn't help but feel merry despite the cold and grey weather. It was so romantic and for a few moments time almost stood still. It was a very cold dark evening. The delicious crunch of golden autumn leaves beneath my feet drowned the din of traffic in the distance. The street looked like a maple carpet with shades of gold, red and amber.

It was a very cold dark evening. The delicious crunch of golden autumn leaves beneath my feet drowned the din of traffic in the distance. The street looked like a maple carpet with shades of gold, red and amber. The university clock chimed 6 O'clock. Wrapped up in my woollens, bracing the wind, I passed by a small square strewn with autumn leaves. It had a lonely gazebo in the centre. The street lights cast a warm golden glow on the quite street. I stopped and took a deep breath to cherish the moment before walking on into the darkness.
tiful way to begin the day. I was so thrilled to see the first fog of the season that I actually got up and reached out for my camera. Very unusual for me. I am the sort that sets my alarm half hour early so that I can laze in bed and try my best not to get up, if I can help it. A habit acquired during my school days when I’d go back to sleep after mom woke me until, she took away my duvet to force me out of bed. Now the SNOOZE button is my best friend.
