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.

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.
