Christmas Fun!

So Phil and I decided to start a new tradition this year... making our very own Gingerbread House!

This is it almost finished... Once it's in Honiton we'll make the people and Reindeer stand up!

and the finished product:

We finally took it to Pete and Leslie's for their Christmas leftovers Party and at the end of the evening Gill took a knife and began to demolish it...

There were photo's... but I haven't received them yet.

London and Sharon's Birthday party...

Sharon's Karaoke Birthday Party at Bamboo Noodle Bar was absolutely brilliant!

We spent Sunday with Shiro wandering around London...

Looking at Christmas lights!

and other things... like Lamb Testicles(Phil just had to take this pic)

and look at all these birds... pretty awful to see them like this ...I like my birds plucked and packaged thank you very much!!

and then it Snowed...

And so we get snow which is apparently early this year... It's freezing cold but pretty if you take a moment to let a snowflake land somewhere where you can study it!

not a lot of snow but enough for now!

Flipping Freezing cold!!

it was 1 degree C last night and we woke to the sound of people scraping their windscreens to remove the ice!

Aren't the frozen spiderwebs pretty?

Whatever this was was dead long before...

the grass...

the weeds!

Nottingham

Phil took Friday off and we drove 2 hours to Nottingham to change my licence to a UK one!
Saw lots of Cooling towers on the way...

we stayed the night with Dave and Mirren. Dave and Phil went to School together all those years ago...

and on Saturday we went to see the Caves of Nottingham - This is where thousands of people sheltered during the second World War. They're really amazing. Some were dug recently and some date back about 1500 years and more!!
They're made of sandstone which apparently and amazingly can withstand bomb blasts - the blasts actually make it stronger!
