We had a lovely weekend in London staying with Declan and meeting up with Dave Joana and Marlene.
We arrived in London and met Dave Joana and Marlene at Somerset House. The ice skating rink was there and it looked really fun and christmasy. We looked around the Cartier Bresson photo exhibition and then went over to Bethnal Green to a seconds sale. We said goodbye and then went over to Highgate to meet Declan. They are going to Germany for Christmas. . and hopefully they will come and visit us in the new year.
Declan made us a lovely meal at his new flat in the evening and we made a big fuss of his black cat Scotch. . he really reminded us of Wilson. The next day we walked around the local woods and up to Alexandra Palace to look at the view over London. We later met his girlfriend Kate and had some food in a pub before we headed back to Paddington to catch the train home. It was a cold and busy weekend and we really enjoyed it. x
