It’s been a long time since
we posted and with all this snow around in the UK, I wanted to chat about
favourite snowy destinations. You know the ones. When you wrap up warm in your
hat and gloves and go out in the evening with the snow on the ground, crunching
underneath your feet, and the lights of the city sparkling at you.
Well as I’m sure you’ve guess
by now, my favourite destination in the snow is a city, and in my opinion, one
of the world’s best cities no matter which season you travel in. I’m talking
about New York City, of course. For anyone who has been there over Christmas
particularly, the city never sleeps has the most amazing magical quality about
it. So many happy people and so many visitors enjoying it too. The Rockefeller
Center in all it’s Christmas glory is one of those sights that has to be seen.
Central Park, another iconic area of the city which in the winter, is alive
with ice-skaters and snowball makers. Cold winter nights strolling through the
city are definitely an experience that will be remembered.![]() |

The cold, crisp, bright blue
winter mornings are also a favourite. Watching the steam coming up from the street
drains or from the top of buildings reminds you of all those films and
programmes you’ve watched about the Big Apple and suddenly, it all becomes a
reality. You start recognizing scenes from Home Alone 2 or SATC and you
automatically feel like you’ve been there before. Like you recognise it all and
almost feeling as if at home in the city. Soon the lively parties will also
celebrate the Superbowl, one of the year’s biggest sporting events in the USA
and if you do anything in the States, you have to watch a sports game live.
London is another favourite of mine, particularly at Christmas. Oxford Street comes alive with lights and frantic shoppers trying to get their last minute presents. The banks of the Thames are also a great place to stroll during winter, and with the Christmas markets, again, you place will feel magical.
I know the skies can be grey during the winter, but on those crisp mornings when there's not a cloud in the sky, it all makes it worth it. And if that doesn't make you feel happy, Summer is just around the corner.....I promise..... :)
