I have made a conscious effort this year to make sure that G.O and I make the most of the time we have together. So with that in mind we decided to recreate our first official date.
I rushed home from school, we hopped onto the coach and we headed into London. In the past we have made a day of it, doing the whole tourist thing. This time we were just going to Hyde Park.
The very first time we went to the winter wonderland there were about seven stalls selling crafts and candles and things. There were couple off food stalls, but it was mainly a big fair. It was together disappointing, as a German in England I love anything that brings a taste of home.
Last year was the first year since we have been together that G.O and I didn't visit, Christmas in fact as a whole wad a bit of a bust last year.
This year with my "savour every moment" hat on, I was excited to see what had changed. I have to admit that it is now a mammoth Christmas experience. Alongside the fairground element that is still there and apparently very much wanted by the public, heathens, you can now find food from all over Europe. We had pork from the hog brothers and convert cake from Hungary. Both delicious and very naughty.
There are traditional German beer-tents all over the site, full to buying with drunken city boys and girls, living it up for the weekend before they go home to their families.
It was such a nice evening, although the queue for the ladies was ridiculous, in the end I used the loo on the coach.
