Just a quick note to say- to all those naysayers and doubters out there- it has SNOWED in London.
That is all! Love from the Aussies (and a Cornwall-ian)

After an early morning doctors appointment one Saturday, I decided to stop off at Little Italy and jump on one of the famous canal boats that trawl the narrow waterways of London. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it sure wasn't for my feet to freeze. Anyway, it took about an hour to get to Camden via the zoo and plenty of other place I could only partially see- the boats were used to transport goods way back when so although there are seats now, they aren't at optimal viewing point. Still, it was a nice way to spend my Saturday.
I particularly enjoyed the phone call from Mel who, assuming I was upstairs in the house, called me from bed asking if I wanted to eat. To be able to tell her I was out on a canal and her response were both worth the early morning bus ride and cold feet :D A relaxing way to start a Saturday but probably not something I will be racing out to do again. Happy birthday young lady!
Thank you for always being there and just being yourself. Your humour and patience has gotten us through some long work days and you're definitely my kind of crazy. I hope you had a wonderful night out. xxxx Merry Christmas to all of my loves across the globe! I wish I could be there with you but, as you can see, I have kidnapped a familiar face and dragged her around Amsterdam, Berlin and Budapest. We are eating, drinking and being merry.
Wishing you all a happy Christmas with lots of love and all the best wishes! xxx Christmas is well and truly on its way. There are red, green and gold celebrations happening all over London and it's not even Christmas Eve yet! We have had Christmas Jumper Day at school- some people have taken it to mean the ugliest jumpers they can find but I went for a simple SNOWFLAKE pattern because... I can and hopefully it will bring on a white Christmas for meeeeee! Winter Wonderland has opened up and it is as dazzling, huge and expensive as you can imagine. Lots of mulled wine was had and people watching was done. There's a German Beer Hall with a dancefloor and a drunken performer. It was great! Amanda and I also went on an open top bus tour through London City- the first bus tour I have done since moving here so YAY! It was freezing, it was dark and it was beautiful! Would definitely recommend it to the tourist within. UK schools enjoy staff Christmas parties because, unfortunately, the school year doesn't end in December- it's almost like a commemoration party with Christmas crackers and talks about the next two weeks off. It was great to sit down and catch up with everyone, hear about plans and have a laugh. I'm pretty lucky to work with the people I do! I was invited to my first 'grown up' Christmas party, which had all the best parts of a big family Christmas; food, lounges and alcohol. Plus, I got to meet some cool new people and hear about everyone's year. I think an adulting success was had all around! Thanks to the ladies that had us, it was almost like being home again :) |
