Natalie and I have thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas holidays.
While we haven't left London we really enjoyed spending time with each other and relaxing.
Christmas Day was a quiet affair at home, with Natalie cooking a fantastic pork roast, with lots of veges. We both received good presents, and must have been more nice than naughty this year for even Santa dropped a couple of gifts around for us.
Boxing Day saw a visit from Natalie's sister, Kate. It was good to see her again and have family around. Kate joined us for a trip to visit Derek and Margaret - the brother and sister-in-law of Natalie's grandmother. Ian, their son, was also visiting so it was a very good family occasion. We were very well looked after and had an excellent post-Christmas feast. We will be putting up photos from the visit in the near future.
While Kate went back to Cambridge yesterday (Tuesday), Natalie and I did some sightseeing. We took a trip out to Canary Wharf, the new financial district of London, and discovered a relatively new shopping centre. After some bargain shopping we travelled to Greenwich and visited the Naval College with a wonderfully painted dining hall, which was to be part of a palace that King Charles II started building but never completed.
Between now and my trip home, Natalie and I hope to do some more sightseeing.
