Sloane Square all Decorated

As a continuation of my London at Christmastime series today I visited Sloane Square.  I have never had a reason to go to this area before but a friend recommended I go for the decorations and they didn't disappoint,  the lights on the Peter Jones building alone is worth the visit!

Trip to Bath

Bath is so beautiful on a normal day, I love those green rolling hills as you approach.  I have been to the city a few times now but this trip was special because it was during their Christmas Market.  The market wasn't quite like they are in Germany, there was a significant lack of food, but there was a lot of unique stuff if you were looking for a gift for someone.  I walked away with a couple ornaments, surprisingly the best place to buy tree decorations wasn't even in the market but in this shop that's open all year round called December 25th.

London Loves Christmas

Just a quick pic of pretty street decorations taken on a small side street in Knightsbridge.

Skating at the History Museum

Last year I was busy with school work and didn't really get to see much of London at Christmastime.  This year I am trying to make a distinct effort to get out and see more.  Today on my day off I went to the Museum of Natural History to see the ice rink there.  The Natural History Museum is one of my favorite buildings in London already but it looks great with the rink set up and a big tree in the middle.  This is a small post today because I actually have plans to come back here and go skating!

South Bank Christmas Market

.  

Christmas Markets are everywhere this time of year, I hope to see a few before the big day.  This was my first time checking out the one at South Bank.  It's nice, there is a good balance of food, drink, sweets, and crafts, but it is not that big.  It takes about 10 minutes to walk the length of it but can be stretched if you stop at every stall.  If you plan to go down there you probably only need to give yourself an hour or so.

The Start of Christmas

The past couple months have been stressful so I have been really anxious to start the Christmas season this year.  Its great to just get lost in the decorating and card writing and present buying.  The Christmas season, according to me, officially begins the day after Thanksgiving but I waited a whole week and a half to get the tree.  The flat looks much happier all dressed up!
