Travelling abroad during the holidays.

Travelling abroad during the holidays.

Lots of people take holidays during the December time, it’s perfect because flights will get cheaper to fill them up over Christmas Day/Boxing Day, the airports won’t be so busy and everyone will generally be in a cheery mood. However, travelling abroad at this time was always strange for me; suddenly your traditions are switched. You might be eating lobster or sushi instead of turkey on Christmas Day! My family has never been particularly religious, nor have we ever celebrated a holiday in any religious way so we don’t go to church. We do have traditions though, being brought up in the UK we have always celebrated Christmas holiday. We eat turkey, beef, lamb with all the trimmings, open presents in the morning and spend the day together doing something...

Winter Wonderland

Winter Wonderland

Christmas is over. It’s official. We are now in 2012 and it’s another whole 350 something days until we can stuff our faces and cross our fingers for snow. During this wintery season however I  took a lovely trip out to Hyde Park in Central London to visit Winter Wonderland. Every year I try to get out and visit one of the winter attractions, last year it was the Christmas Market on Southbank. I chose Winter Wonderland this year because I’d had reports from friends that it was great and I’d be missing out If I didn’t go. Here are some of the things I liked and didn’t like about the attraction.. Positives of Winter Wonderland: The smells coming from the market area were amazing, Cinnamon, Spiced Apple and Vanilla!...
