A Christmas Weekend Saturday in the Park

Had a great day yesterday, we went out on the town with our camera's to capture the xmas spirit. One thing that we've found is that we tend to be more demonstative with our Christmas displays. I find that here it is more focused on family. Not many people have lights out, alot of stores dont play xmas music, and Boxing Day is not really a big shopping day. So we wandered from Trafalgar Square to Regent's Park, going down Regent Street, past Carnaby Street, and Oxford Street (which was a ZOO!). It was a lovely temperature out so we spent alot of time walking in the park. It really is a beautiful park, and I'd like to go back during the summer when the rose garden is in bloom.

Here are a couple of my pics...see if you can spot what's different about Scott!



After that we headed home to Clapham, got ready for our night out at the Nutcracker adn headed back to Leicester Square. We ended up finding a great little Italian place for dinner on Villiers Street (I think its street) between Charing Cross and Embankment tube stops. Had a fantastic rustic Italian dinner, which reminded us of our Italy trip this past Sept. Then headed to the ballet. I think Scott was surprised that he actually enjoyed it. It flew by! We then went out for glass of chmapagne and scotch at a lounge on Trafalgar Square. Great night!

Today we are relaxing. We spent the morning doing our grocery (and alcohol) shopping as everything is closed here on xmas day. There is a wine wholesaler a few blocks away and they deliver free so we had a bunch delivered for tomorrow. Talk about convenient...maybe too convenient!

Hope that everyone is enjoying their festive season!!!
