Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park was lovely and worth a good few photos. It is a big funfair full of rides and loads of Germanic stalls selling all kinds of stuff - food and gifts. Unfortunately I've not yet mastered posting videos on here so you'll just have the photo of the moose and will miss his lovely singing of Silent Night which was hilarious!
One hotel worth a mention for their Christmas decorations is the Mandarin
Oriental in Knightsbridge - just an iPhone photo so not as clear as others but you'll get the idea of how lovely it looked.
I went to see Avatar in 3D on a huge screen at the Odeon Leicester Square. It was an amazing visual treat and tho' very long, it sped past. I'm not a great fan of 3D as it gives me a headache but for the flying scenes in particular, the high speed vertical drops it made the experience completley breathtaking. Treat yourself to a big screen if you are going to see it.
Also managed to squeeze in a restaurant trip which saw us at Kitchen W8 in Kensington. It was really good - the room, the service , the food and the extra little extra bits in the form of amuse bouche and great truffles with coffee, all came together for a lovely evening. We took the Time Out special offer which was amazing value at about £20 for 3 courses and the kind waiter hurried us along politely as I'd not noticed the offer ended at 7pm and we just managed to order at 6.59!
I wish you all a fun New Year's eve and all the best for 2010.
Bye for now.
Sue
