Windsor Great Park at sunset

Had a walk in Windsor Great Park before heading to Bray for dinner today - we managed to catch the last of the daylight after the rain, and were rewarded with some spectacular views and scenery. I took this photo with my phone, but hopefully I'll be able to link to Kt's camera photos when she posts them.

sinister!

Itsu restaurant

Walked past Itsu restaurant on Piccadilly today - this was the sushi restaurant where Alexander Litvenenko possibly was poisoned with the polonium that killed him a couple of weeks later.

The restaurant is all boarded up and there's a sign on the hoardings. It's made to look like a James Bond title sequence camera shutter and reads "An international espionage incident has transformed this Itsu into a world-famous meeting place. Sad and shocked, we would like to thank you for the many emails of encouragement. Our customers and staff are magnificent. We will reopen and we will flourish. Meanwhile, enjoy Itsu's healt and happiness at Hanover Square and 313 Regent Street".

Happy Christmas!

Christmas Tree

Have got my Christmas tree up in my living room, complete with fairy lights and the decorations I've accumulated! It smells lovely but does tend to shed quite a few needles! Thankfully it's a wooden floor. It was great fun getting it home on the bus but thankfully it was wrapped up in its sleeve and relatively easy to transport.

Merry Christmas!

partying!

This month has been a blur of parties - as evidenced by this action shot of my colleague Steve and I dancing to Madonna's 'Hung Up'. More party photos in the Flickr album.
