I am a little bit behind on my updates, and as I was looking back through my photographs, I discovered several that I have not gotten around to posting yet from the winter months. It did seem like a long winter this year as the weather was not great. Looking back on it, I did manage to do a few things to break up the time. As always, I enjoy the colour at Covent Garden with their seasonal floral displays.
Before the holidays, I had a trip to The Chocolate Cocktail Club again, and I had their seasonal cocktails.
Of course, I decorated for Christmas.
I had a Christmas lunch with turkey and vegetables.
Eastcote House Gardens always decorates the pine tree, so I got some photographs of this.
Ruislip's Duck Pond Market also had some festive markets set up for the holidays, and I bought some seasonal treats.
I loved the little edible flower pot cakes.
My friends and I also enjoyed a roast Christmas lunch together.
Of course, I always enjoy the local decorations.
The movie "Wicked 2" was out in the cinemas. I did go to see it. Everyone was talking about it.
At the beginning of January, I went to the HotWheels "Monster Trucks" event at the O2. That day, planned tube strikes meant that this took all day to get there and back, making a long day in a cold and gloomy month.
While I was at the O2, I went into the ice cream cafe "Snowflake" and had an ice cream.
In early February, I stopped by my friend's cafe for lunch, tea, and dessert.
I also started a couple of new fitness classes. The first part of the year was virtually impossible to get out and walk due to the rain on an almost-daily basis. However, it meant that my injury on my foot was allowed to heal.
I also made Indian dishes from scratch and froze some of them. Below is a sambar, and it was really good.
Other than that, I kept busy with work and reading or listening to audio books.
