We Made It part 3

Boxing Day we had a huge cooked breakfast and went for a walk in the local park where we saw not one but THREE squirrels!
On the way home we popped into the off liscense to buy more beers. The night was spent watching Eternal Sunshine On A Spotless Mind and Top Gun!

Day after Boxing Day we were awoken by a txt from Pommy Dan. "It's SNOWING!" And indeed it WAS!

Backyard view:

Front view:


The snow falling stopped at around midday and melted away not long after. The London Girl and I traveled up to Kentish Town (in north London) to meet an old friend of mine, Bel. From there we walked to Hamstead Heath ( one of Londons' huge parks).

It was feezing and there were still patches of snow around.


But we had views right over London and the sunset was lovely:




As it got dark we descended from the hill to the out door ice-skating rink. As we were waiting to get on the rink, it suddenly started to snow again!!





And then we SKATED!


AFter about an hr we retired to a nearby pub for a few warming pints!
To cap off a lovely Christmas period The London Girl and I headed back home. On our way we dropped in to pick up a pizza. While we waited we nicked across the road to another pub to make use of the facilities and enjoy a nip of scotch!

THE END!

nice photos - i wonder about your skating abilities when the last couple of posts you use "then we had some pints" every paragraph.

though it looks like fun - happy new year to you and the london girl.
