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...

Yay! First embedded video works!

What a pretty, *jolly* song this is. And from Gloucestershire, too (<--ancestral turf). This would be a good one to sing on Christmas Day after quaffing too much Bailey's.

...hee! Banjos!...

Good luck getting home. My city is paralysed by snow maybe once every couple of years, simply because we get almost no snow, and accumulations are so rare that we don't have enough equipment or infrastructure to deal with them quickly. So I'm certainly not going to sneer at London!
