Found this disappointing news on the SVT website as I was trolling Eurovision clips:Many hope that the cold will kill ticks and snails. However, insects are safe in the ground and waiting for spring in the insulating blanket of snow lying over the country.In recent years, mild winters have been favorable for these creatures that many fear.

London Links: Qype Does London
From Little London Observationist, 6 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I’m biased, I suppose, because Qype just posted my photo of Canary Wharf tube as their banner image for this week’s Qype Does London, newsletter #45.

Yes, the posts are dwindling. I just don't seem to have enough time. Or is it that India has become so passe that nothing much seems blogworthy'
