walking in a Hyde Park Winter Wonderland...

The countdown has officially begun. The 'C' word can now be be spoken, although with slight apprehension, due to the fact that it has, as always, crept up on me. So to welcome the festivities in style, I decided to jump right in and Christmas it up to the max. Enter Hyde Park's Winter Wonderland. We are talking ice skating, the main man Santa, Angels gorgeous Christmas market, scary ass rides and lots of yummy food, all in gorgeous surroundings. It's free to enter with add-ons for things like ice skating, the observation wheel and the circus...yes, i said circus!










Scream if you wanna go faster!!


Now here comes the food bit...the German's do it best...

Bushy park - furry friends

obviously, this dude had a blatant disregard for the rules!

Serpentine sleepover

When I heard about this event I could barely control my excitement! The Serpentine Gallery and the V&A are hosting a sleepover in the new pavilion (designed by Jean Nouvel) in Hyde Park this Friday…wait, there’s more!


The event starts at the V&A with a Bombay Sapphire bar creating special ‘night cap cocktails’ followed by twilight tours of the museum and that’s just for starters! Revelers then make their way to The Serpentine Pavilion to enjoy a night of themed events including music performances, films, a psychoanalysts view on dreams, insomnia labs and ‘Power trifles’  - the sampling of trifles containing either calming remedies or powerful stimulants! As well as all of this, each person will receive a hand crafted book charting the nights events.


All you need is a sleeping bag, £35 and stamina - the event goes on until 5am! I was ready to put my name down when the man reminded me of all the activities we have planned for the weekend / week to come and how I am not the most productive** person when I am tired (**he used the word grumpy and he is so right!). Ah well, if you go let me know what It was like. Check out all the details here.
