The Obligatory Snow Post

So yes, we've had an inch of snow in London. I've still made it into the office though (go me!) Let's see how quickly I can get back out again...

Because [livejournal.com profile] draycevixen is doing a list of her favourite Christmas Songs, I thought I'd get onto the band wagon and do the same thing. She's picking popular music, but as I love singing Christmas Carols, I thought that I might pick out some of my favourite from that genre.

Mind you, favourite seems to equal 'unusual'...

I therefore present my first pick, The Gloucestershire Wassail.



You can tell it's a drinking song, can't you?!

It's also my first embedded video, so lets see how this one goes...

I have been mostly giggling at the snow hysteria, while continuing to make my way between home and the office (in Docklands). But, then, I have a different set-point for what constitutes "snow chaos".

I'm an Englishwoman who lived in Ohio for a while -- 8 feet of snow? Business as usual -- and now live in the American South where two snowflakes is enough to shut the place down completely... well, if they fell in the same place.

It's 40F outside right now and the natives refuse to set foot out there unless it's strictly necessary and then only in four layers of clothing.
