As seen from London Bridge Railway Station, this week. Previous pictures that I have taken of this London building are here, here, here, here, here, and here.

With news that this year has seen the coldest March since 1962, today I experienced sunshine followed by snow within 2 minutes.

I took the above photograph through the passenger window of my car because I was interested in this bicycle filter lane that goes down the middle of two lanes where Laurence Street meets the Barbican Road at Walmgate.  I also noticed the black car in the right lane had “appropriated” the advanced stop zone for the bicycles.  (Note: I am aware that it is only illegal for a car to be in this zone if they entered it while the traffic lights were red, see here).

It was shortly afterwards that I noticed a car (small silver pickup truck) turning right from Barbican Road into Laurence Road jumped the red lights. Tut tut, this will not do York!

I was in York last week and managed to get this photograph through my passenger window of a white van overtaking a cyclist.  Unfortunately it wasn’t as clear as I had hoped.

I didn’t cycle yesterday due to the rain but I noticed that this didn’t deter others.

This chappie was warming up on Master Park yesterday before a match. I was surprised to see the ref inspecting the pitch and this player warming up, because I thought Oxted was playing away to Bookham.

Despite five or six snow showers today, interspersed with period sunshine and rain, the snow on Master Park has been steadily melting.

I watched the snow melting for a few minutes, and produced this timelapse video, on Master Park, Oxted.
