Winter Wonderland, Hyde Park

I didn’t even know this was going on, but came across it while we were taking in a winter’s walk across Hyde Park.

I didn’t expect a lot, but it was actually really rather lovely. It’s on till the 3rd January and it’s free.

Climate Change camp, Trafalgar Square

December 9th, 2009 10:59pm No comments

Situated slap bang in the middle of Trafalgar Square, one of London’s most famous landmarks and tourist attractions, the Climate Camp picked a perfect place to publicise their cause.

Pitching up after the Wave march on the previous Saturday, the camp was set up to protest against the ‘elitist and undemocratic’ UN climate summit in Copenhagen.

After the famously heavy handed policing at this year’s G20 protests in the City of London, the cops seem to have adopted a ‘softly softly’ approach, with the camp remaining in place on the following Wednesday.

A trip to Ramsgate, Kent

We recently enjoyed a pleasant walk from Broadstairs along the beach to nearby Ramsgate.

We rocked the to the impressive marina but the town centre was a bit on the disappointing side with lots of rubbish 60s architecture.
