Today is Christmas Day and we are having a white Christmas !! We had a booking for high tea at the Dorchester BUT there is NO public transport in London of any type running on Christmas Day so we had to cancel. Luckily for us though we are staying in a very Jewish part of London and lots of shops and cafes were open. We had a lovely brunch that even included an Oreo milkshake after spending time on skype to Australia. I then walked off the excesses of the morning before having a quiet Irish coffee over a magazine mid afternoon. Top Gear then dominated our afternoon as it was on TV back to back most of the day. It is a show with such hilarious commentary that it often makes me laugh till I cry !!! By the time we walked back from a not very conventional Christmas dinner it was minus 5 C and we were all replete after an enormous Turkish meal. The serves were gi-enormous. All in all our day has been great, yes a far cry from how we would have spent it if we had been at home but none of us would have missed this opportunity for "quids".
Reminds me of the year we were in Belgium for Christmas and we had Chinese food for dinner on Christmas day!
Makes Christmas more interesting when you do something completely out of the ordinary :-)
