Number 57
The weather's pretty consistently grey here in London: despite the brief occasional moments of brilliantly crisp blue sky, most of the short daylight hours are clouded over.
Walking through the streets of London on these bleak days I do miss the random splashes of colour that appeared all through Europe, particularly Scandinavia (though this photo is from Bruges, Belgium). Vibrant doors, happy windows, garish walls: it all combines to bring life to these long dark winters.
I'm told the Danish combat the cold, dark winters with what's called hygge (which is as unpronounceable as it is untranslatable). But I'll report more on that once I've actually visited the country.
