Winter sun... in London?!
If anyone is reading my blog at the moment, then bear with me for another week or so as I am slowly updating it! It is straining my brain thinking all the way back to December though, so I'm going to take a break and talk about the recent events in London!
I'll start with the snow... apparently it was the most that London has had for a few years and it was magical waking up to a white garden! It was the first time Gav had seen snow as well (only my second time) so we got out and had a play around on the way to the Underground hehe... it is supposed to snow again this winter although we've had really warm weather again since then - back up to about 12 degrees, but it has cooled right down again now! It was freezing today and there's rumours of more snow later this week... (woohoo!)
Also on the day before it snowed we said goodbye to Keryn who went back to sunny Brisbane.. it was sad to see her go although she had a kick-arse surprise waiting in store for her family and friends back home. It would have been great to go back for Australia Day! Instead we settled into a bar in Clapham to listen to the JJJ Hottest 100, drink Boag's and eat sausage rolls! It was good day!
The weekend before last Gav and I went out to Greenwich to see the timeline and get out of the city for a few hours. It was really nice but really cold! A highlight of the day was scoring myself some new recipe books for 2 pounds each! :-) Photos still coming...
Last weekend it was Deb's party for her anniversary in London - a whole year already! Come to think of it, can you believe I've been here for over 7 months!?!
Oh also Gav is settling into his new house in Clapham and he starts his first proper job tomorrow! He worked for 3 days last week at PWC, but has just landed an ongoing contract for the Financial Services Authority - and he's so happy about it! (I wouldn't be happy to be going back to work!)
I also got myself a nice new toy on the weekend - A Canon Powershot G7! I love it. Gav and I went to Hampstead Heath to make the most of the beautiful sunny weather and I got to test drive my new camera... (see my photos here) I'm still yet to figure out how to work it!

Hopefully I'll have some more photos from outside of London to show soon! x
