Last Tuesday night, the United Kingdom got hit by a snowstorm dubbed "Beast from the East". I'd planned to go into work in Chiswick (west London) in order to get things sorted for an office move (to only to a couple of buildings away), on Wednesday. Unfortunately, the tubes were a mess, and there's no way that I could have gotten in. The trains remained a mess all day, and the snow got worse each day until Friday. I'd actually planned to go out to central London in order to get some photographs of the snow on Saturday, but when I woke up in the morning, the snow had largely melted. So, my photograph below is an old one from five years ago when I visited the Peak District in January. I may have expected such weather in January, but not so much at the beginning of March when I've been seeing the early spring flowers begin to make appearances.
My busy workload continues, and I am spending nearly all of my waking hours (and some of my sleeping hours) working in order to meet deadlines. As a result, my blog has taken a back seat in my life for the past two and a half months. I do have some great events planned this year, so keep checking back. I've also promised myself before the end of last year that I would take more breaks and not work so hard, so I am hoping that things quiet down when the project I am on goes live in late May.
