Sommerset Skating



On Friday afternoon Phil told me to layer up and be ready to go at four o'clock for a surprise in London.  After bundling up we made our way to the train station for a lovely evening. The surprise was ice skating at Sommerset House! After checking my bag we laced up our skates and pushed our way to the front to be one of the first ones on the ice. The rink was busy but we still managed to snake our way around people and didn't fall once! Can't say the same for the rest of the skaters... quite a few were holding on the railing for dear life. After an hour of skating we walked around the Thames and came across a Christmassy market filled with Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Bailey's Hot Chocolate and even Santa and his elves.

Birthday Bumps

After weeks of not having a life and working every weekend I finally got a sunday off! This wasn't just any sunday, this sunday was Vic's (Phil's nephew) 5th birthday party. The day started off by being woken up by the terrifying Victor-saurus.


The rest of the day included opening presents, playing with this little cutie, and having a massive roast dinner and a homemade Angler fish cake.
