Christmas Trees in London (some of them)

“The Christmas tree is a symbol of love, not money. There’s a kind of glory to them when they’re all lit up that exceeds anything all the money in the world could buy.”
― Andy Rooney

 

Christmas tree at Covent Garden

“Glittering tinsel,
lights, glass balls, and candy canes
dangle from pine trees.”
― Richelle E. Goodrich

 

Another Christmas Tree at a restaurant near Covent Garden

“The best Christmas trees come very close to exceeding nature.” – Andy Rooney

 

At St Pancras International station (made of roses)

“There’s no experience quite like cutting your own live Christmas tree out of your neighbour’s yard.”
― Dan Florence

 

At Trafalgar Square (donated by City of Oslo, Norway)

Seasons Greetings to all

PS: That cute little Santa is one of our souvenirs from Padua.

Manger is ready

Three wise men are on the way. Inching closer to the Christmas day.

See you all soon.

An year here and off to a short break now

It has been a year since I arrived in London and boy, does it seem like ages ago. What with the move, not just the place but also the job it definitely feels like too many things have happened this year. I am on my half-term holiday break now which is great and much needed, but there are so many things to be done. On top of that, I fell ill and lost my voice for the past two days. I can kind of whisper things today without straining, but it is now at the stage where a dry cough has taken over and my sinus is slightly clogged so not a good few more days to look forward to. Among all these did I enjoy the snow? I definitely did. Not the icy patch the next day though. I almost fell a few times walking on those.

Silver lining among these events is that we are going on a short trip to Italy this Sunday and will be back just before Christmas. All our presents are ready and waiting next to our nativity set (we don’t have Christmas tree). That would also mean I will be off the grid unless I get good wifi there and am not too tired to blog. We are going to take it slow and steady with the trip, not rushing through the places etc. There will be lots of photographs for sure and a travelogue once I am back.

Y’all stay safe, hope for better things, spread the festive spirit, be safe, keep blogging, and most of all keep smiling.
