England, Jan '13

This was the final leg of our European adventure. Winter in the UK can be fun, especially when you only have to endure a couple of weeks of it before flying off to a Sydney summer. Oh, and being dragged around various cosy city and country pubs by various long lost friends also helped wink

Good times... now... back to reality!

18:40

Birthday drinks in London. And quick... take a picture of the traditional English spread before it's gone! wink

12:35

Squirrels and other fluffy little wildlife (and some not so little!) in London's Hyde Park. In Winter. Brrrrr!

13:10

Be careful feeding the Hyde Park squirrels from your hand... they might take more than you think! wink

14:05

Lunch at Royal China. Still some of the best Yum Cha in London. Someone's happy as first we'd had in a year! Yum! tongue

13:50

Newman Arms for lunch. Great pies & beer. Great company from way back. They are shy types mind, hence the bokeh wink tongue

12:10

The Sun Inn, Bentworth. Another fantastic choice by Mr W. So cosy (necessity in this weather!) & great food. Cheers!

13:25

Oh no... not another pub lunch! wink tongue This time it's Barton's Mill. And a snowy stroll by the river after. Nice! smile

13:50

Passing through Lincoln so stopped by the cathedral. Unlike most over in France there's no free entry here though sad

16:41

Bit of snow in UK = 'traffic chaos' = everyone stays home = empty roads = Basingstoke to Lincoln in 3hr. Suits me! grin

19:40

Fish & chips & mushy peas... with champagne? Errrrm... OK wink tongue Very nice they were too! grin
