Christmas in London (and it's not even Thanksgiving yet!)

Christmas is only 4 weeks, but here in London the lights and celebrations started weeks ago. Everyone is in full blown Christmas mode. This is my third Christmas here in London, so I knew what to expect. I started seeing decorations for sale in mid-October, lights up by Halloween (I know my fellow Americans will find this disgraceful…it's not even Thanksgiving yet!). The honest truth though is that London is incredibly beautiful with all the lights up. It truly becomes a winter wonderland. So I guess I don't mind the lights too much.

life in london lately

The last few weeks in London have been pretty relaxing. I had off a week and a half from work (thanks to London school holidays) and I spent it stay-cationing in London. I had a couple massages, caught up on my admin, started a new gym, and spent lots of time with girlfriends. Adam went to India for just over a week for our friend's wedding but unfortunately, I wasn't able to go with. But I throughly enjoyed my time spent in this amazing city.

Before Adam left for India, we spent a lovely Sunday afternoon in the sun with friends at our new local pub, Hop & Berry on Liverpool Road.
