According to Maev Kennedy who writes for The Guardian newspaper, Jamie enjoyed some tobogganing fun with his kids in a Richmond park today as he took a break from filming Law & Order: UK (presumably due to the weather).  The relevant part of her article is excerpted below:

The sign at the gates of the Terrace Gardens in Richmond, south-west London, sternly warned of recent reports of "out of control dogs": the dogs were impeccably behaved, but the grown-ups were completely out of control, and their children not much better.

Jamie Griffith was completely humiliated in front of his children, as others shot past on an assortment of brilliantly coloured sledges and toboggans – together with 17- and 18-year-old brother and sister Tariq and Annie Miller on a sledge hijacked from a toddler – and he slithered miserably down in low gear on his oven tray. He tried a black bin liner, with no more impressive results.

As he hopefully put the oven tray into a bin liner and tried again, another child shot past on the Bugatti of the Richmond hill toboggans, a vintage model borrowed from a Swedish family, with curved steel and wooden runners, wooden seat and sheepskin seat cover. "Wrong sort of snow," Griffith muttered.

He turned out to be a fugitive from Law & Order. The television series, in which he stars as Detective Sergeant Matt Devlin under his stage name Jamie Bamber, had wimpishly abandoned filming for the day.

Now that's a sight I would have paid good money to have seen!

You would think his Vancouver friends would have taught him a thing or two about snow (but they are on the coast so they don't get as much snow as you would think). But at least the break from filming allowed to play with the girls some, and get to enjoy playing with them in the snow. report abuse vote down vote up
