It'll just get worse
It’s Christmas again, although to be honest, it’s seemed like Xmas since about March time.
London of course has some lights up. In the past, they have often just been adverts for shows, or films or whatever.
This year we have taken a few snaps of some lights, and they will follow in the next days.
If you did a website about chocolate recipes and someone criticised you for not including methods for cooking steak, you might be peeved.
During this year, we have tried to provide information for people visiting London. It’s where we are and what we know and maybe it has helped a couple of people.
But we have had a few comments along the lines of “the UK is not just London”. First of all, we have said just that before. This is not a travel guide to the UK. And we have included some places you might want to visit within an easy ride from London. Besides, other people do sites for those far better than we ever could.
But in the next few weeks, here are some more places not too far away you could visit. Many are enough for half a day, so you could try two adjacent places easily.
We don’t know what the weather will be like.
There’s always this stuff about taking bets there will be a white Christmas, which used to mean at least one flake on some roof somewhere.
It’s unlikely. We have a proper white Xmas maybe once every 10 to 15 years, perhaps longer in London where it’s a city and is generally warmer.
Usually it’s grey and cold and probably wet. If you eat too much and want a walk, wrap up well.
