FOR BITTER AND FOR WURST

We went up to London yesterday to see the lights:

Hyde Park 011

Oh, OK.  Here's a pic of Harrods.

Eventually we got to Hyde Park.  There is a German Christmas market there at the moment which is breathtaking in its scale. Of course we weren't the only ones to visit.

But I still found it incredible that all this stuff had been brought over from Germany for our Christmas.

And not just equipment, but German staff and food and drink too.

And so, naturally enough, we went straight here.

Then we went to see all the rides - things which went up and down to and from vast heights and round and round at great speed and potentially did terrible things to our bratwursts.  Here's my view of the rides.

In fact, I think this was my favourite ride.

The evening was finished off with Amarula lattes.  A rather good time had by all.  I'm beginning to enjoy Christmas.  Three parties to squeeze in tomorrow though; wish me luck.
