Christmas in Norway

We're just back from a week in Molde celebrating Xmas with Siv's Mum and Brother. The usual 'Little Christmas Eve' showing of Dinner for one at Marie's, plus Christmas dinner and bubble and squeak on Boxing day for food made for a relaxing time.

Walk to Barkingside for pie and mash

After last night's fun and games, I took a walk over Fairlop to make the most of the sunny morning and headed on to Barkingside for some pie and mash in Danny's.

Blockheads gig in Islington

A group of us went to the Islington Assembly hall for our traditional pre-Xmas trip to see the Blockheads, having a few drinks in The York and The Taproom beforehand. A good night out as usual.

Xmas trolley and drinks at work

The re-introduced the drinks trolley at work this year with Terje and Luke doing the distribution honours, followed by some drinks in the Dog and Duck, a nice way to wind down before the Xmas holiday.

Trip up town with Nina and Ellen Marie

We took a trip up to London with Nina to go shopping in Liberty's as well as seeing the Christmas lights. We met up with an ex-colleague of Siv and Nina - Ellen Marie - in The White Horse before heading home.

Lovely day for a walk over Fairlop Waters

We went for a long walk today over Fairlop Waters and on into Barkingside for lunch. Clear blue skies meant all the golden colours showed up fabulously.
