We went to the ballet today (to see the Nutcracker), and ended on an unexpected high when we made took an impromptu ride on the London Eye. I’ve added a few photos to the Christmas collection – some of them are a bit shaken because they needed such a long exposure (the flash was no good). I thought some of them came out quite well.

I think Grandma had a good day – she enjoyed the ballet, and it was her wish that took us to the London Eye.

Well – actually it’s been and gone. We had a lovely day yesterday – pancakes for breakfast, guinea fowl or salmon for lunch depending on your inclination, and christmas pudding to finish it off (after a few hours and a walk). You can see the pictures if you want to catch the highlights!

Today we’ve had a really quiet day, spending most of it hiding from the bad weather in the flat. Then we went into Richmond for a quick look round the shops, before going to see ‘Love Actually’ – which we enjoyed.

Tomorrow, its the Nutcracker, which we are looking forward to. In the meantime we have a jigsaw to finish!
