Dark Dinner

Walked around Notting Hill and of course had to buy a Hummingbird slice of cake!, went to Topshop, visited Eaton Square in search of 165 from Upstairs Downstairs. Then for the finale of the night our "Dark DInner". Went to a restaurant where you are served in complete pitch black darkness. Our waiter kept creepily hovering behind me without me knowing until he would suddenly speak!

Brighton and Cooking Class

Visited Brighton where we ate lunch, walked through the shopping lanes and strolled out on the pier where we played this silly 2p coin arcade game. In the evening we had tea at the Grand and saw Cinderella the Musical.

This morning it was out early for our Indian cookery class (a Christmas present!). We learned all about Indian spices and how to make a chicken curry, alo gobi, lentil soup and special rice. Then it was a visit to a scale-model of the city of London.

New Years

Saw Chronicles of Narnia in 3-D! Then saw a massive fireworks of display by Big Ben and the London Eye.

Yesterday almost froze to death at the New Years Parade and on a walk of the new Olympic Park. Finally ate Indian food an watched tons and tons of episodes of Glee.

Today was Taco day Numero Uno with the Honeys and John's aunt.
