Day 155 Ain't No Mountain High Enough
Day 155 Ain't No Mountain High Enough
Today I went to Boulder Brighton to try out a bit of rock climbing without harnesses. It was hard work but really good fun. I am only just able to type this message as my arms are so stiff!
This is a photo of my youngest brother trying out one of the climbing walls.

New Harry Potter Fans YAY!
I was very excited to hear that my friends have just started to read The philosopher's Stone to their oldest son so I got him some Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans and Harry's wand for Christmas. He wasn't that found of the grass flavoured bean (wait till he tries ear wax!!!)

Day 152 Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells Rock!
On Thursday 5 London Loveiosa Members rocked up to Kings Cross Station for a bit of carolling!
We were all a bit nervous and I was sure we were going to be booed (is that a word?) but in fact we were very well received.
We timed our performance just right catching those wearily going home from a long day of work & in need of a little Christmas cheer and those on there way out to their Christmas parties and already a little merry!
We made £20 in an hour, spoke to lots of lovely Londoners and got to spend the evening with one of our newest members, Lucy which was lovely.
Next year we will definitely learn some more songs though!
Seasons Greetings one and all!

On Saturday I went to the Harry Potter Studio Tour with my London Loveiosa buddies. It was a lovely Christmas get together and it was so nice to see the sets all decorated ready for Christmas. They even covered the Hogwarts model with fake snow.

Day 136 On The Bandstand
It was a beautiful sunset tonight. I didn't get long to take my shot as I had to stop at the side of the road to take this on my way to my friends house but I couldn't resist stopping to take a few. I know most people would like the people out of this shot but I don't mind them here.

Ham house is a beautiful 17th Century house along the Thames, whoich I got to see on Sunday.
I've played with the saturation and colour on this photo to add drama and make it look like a haunted house, i love the effect that the house is almost glowing under the stormy sky!!!

On Saturday my my lovely friend Tracey took me to the Banqueting House in London.

This photo is of the under-croft, designed as a drinking den for James the 1st and his friends.
After soaking up a bit of historical culture we headed to the West End for a bit of literary culture in the form of Mojo The Play. If you get a chance check it out, it has an amazing cast and is really funny as well as gritty.
