Well, the weather outside is definitely frightful. But here at Touchnote our little elves keep on merrily packing Christmas cards to make sure everyone gets their greetings before the holidays officially start! Well all except for one little worker, Alix who failed to turn up for work today as she (allegedly) got snowed in. A wonderful excuse to spend the day making snowmen and judging by the pictures she sent us - she did just that!

On a more serious note however, it seems London may actually come to a standstill if the snow gets any heavier seeing as trains and busses are being cancelled here, there and everywhere. In fact, forty years ago there was a similar situation in London when two feet of snow caused chaos in the city and lasting for two whole two months! Let’s hope this freeze doesn’t repeat history. Check out London 40 years ago!

Anybody remember hearing stories about winter fairs on the River Thames?
