At home for New Year

We had Mum, Russell, Liv and Richard around for dinner on New Year's eve. A fun evening with lots of chatting and watching the fireworks in the street and on TV.

Snow in Newbury Park

We had some pretty heavy snow tonight, came as a bit of a surprise after the foggy/frosty day!

It was a foggy and frosty start to the day today. So we walked into Ilford to do a bit of shopping and stopped off in Valentine's Park at the Cottage Garden Cafe for a lunch which we bravely had outside.

 

The Blockheads at PowerHaus

A large group of us went to Camden to see The Blockheads who have started touring again. We met at The Camden Eye for a few drinks before heading off to see the band at PowerHaus (formerly Dingwalls). The band were very good once they got going with guest vocalists Lee Thompson and Tom Hingley. After the gig we went to The Elephant's Head for a quick drink before heading home.

Walk from Kentish Town to Hackney Wick

We went for a long winter Walk, starting at The Fields Beneath in Kentish Town for a coffee, before walking along The Regent's Canal to Coal Drops Yard to see their Xmas tree. We finally ended up in The Three Johns for a drink in Islington before heading home.

Walk over Valentine's Park

The weather improved a bit for the day so we managed to go for a walk over Valentine's Park for a coffee and take in the Autumn colours.

 

Fi and Grae's 25th Wedding Anniversary

We headed down to Southend to go to Fi and Grae's 25th Wedding Anniversary party. We stayed the night at The Camelia Hotel, just a short walk from Ocean Beach restaurant where the party was held, with entertainment from Scam69! A fun night was had by everyone. As it was 5th November, we were able to watch the Southend Fireworks display (from a distance) as well.
