Yessir, it's been a year since moving from South Africa to London, and with that comes the first Christmas away from the family, over-indulgent Polish meals, warm December holidays by the coast, and quiet Gauteng streets. Instead I got the madness that is Oxford Street during the festive season, GIANT-ass baubles in Covent Garden, Winter Wonderland carnival rides in Hyde Park (which is a seasoned highlight for the capital every year apparently), vomiting elf lights (as part of this year's Marmite Christmas lights in central), an excursion to see Harrod's window display, a Christmas tree made out of whiskey barrels, but no snow. Sigh. Still a much colder Christmas than I am accustomed to...
