Christmas Woollies

Do people really buy and wear these jumpers?  Well yes they do.  When I first moved to the UK the things that really stood out for me is the Brits capacity and love to dress up.  Any occasion and any outfit.  The Xmas jumper is one of the more tame dress up days.  This year it will be December the 18th.  Expect everyone from kids in prams to business executives to be wearing a jumper like these.

It is not all crazy, they will also be raising money for charity.  This year is Macmillan Cancer support, Make-A-Wish UK and Save the Children.  If you want to take part get your kit here.

Sugar

The sweet stall at Winter Wonderland. As you pass by the food stalls the familiar smells of a fair fill the air, spun sugar, frying chips and onions.

Winter Wonderland

This is not just a whizz of blue colour it is the snow jet ride at Winter Wonderland. I can't believe I actually went on it. I usually stick to something nice and gentle like the ferris wheel!
Each year it seems better than before. This year the ice-skating rink is bigger and fabulous right in the centre. Rides, food, Xmas stalls, music, all in all just a heap of fun.
