Happy New Year everyone! Hope you all had a fantastic time welcoming in 2009.
Amie & Greg arrive last Monday and we had a great night together for new years. We started off with a lovely dinner at our place and then went to the local park to let off some more fireworks that we had bought (I know we are turning into pyros)!
Despite it being -3C we headed into town for midnight and more fireworks. We watched Big Ben ring in the new year and could just see the top of the fireworks off London Eye – fantastic night and it was so great to spent it with Amie & Greg.
On Saturday one of Amie’s friends took us down to the seaside. We had fish and chips on the beach in Eastbourne which is a lovely town not too far from Brighton. After that we headed to a lovely little village for afternoon tea (lots and lots of eating this week).
On Sunday we took Amie & Greg to the Wolseley for a lovely afternoon tea – more eating! Had an amazing weekend and a lot of fun catching up.
The weather is so, so cold. It is the coldest weather in about a decade and has been getting to -10C in parts of London overnight. We had snow yesterday morning and they are expecting some more tomorrow. Walking to work through the snow has been pretty fun.
