For christmas eve we met up with Nat's brother and brother's partner and her parents for dinner at an indian/chinese smorgasboard.
Bath and Bristol
On the drive to Wales, we stopped off at Bath for a few hours. What a beatiful city, stunning architecture and the colour of all the buildings are this lovely stone colour you can see in the pictures. Nat and I went through the museum and saw the history of the 'roman baths' including two of the big baths which looked so warm we wanted to dive right in!
Did a quick photo stop in Bristol outside the university where Michelle (Tanya's Mum) studied, by the time we got there it was dark (around 4pm).
Pre-Christmas Drinks
Kelly organised pre-christmas drinks at their house to toast to the festive season as they were spending Christmas in Nottingham with family.
Santa's Here
Santa came early this year, Phoebe and I did stockings for each other and since we're not together on Christmas Day, decided to open them early. I was so spoilt, Phoebe got me such lovely things. Lucky me!
Carols in Trafalgar Square
Check out this giant Christmas Tree (shipped over from Poland) in Trafalgar Square where we enjoyed carolers tonight.
