We went to London in December to stay with some friends of ours Jackie and Jack and their lovely kiddies, Connie and Jonty. We thought we would do some Christmas shopping and take Cas to the Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park.
Last time I went to Jackie's house it was an actual building site. Now it is a fantastic restored Brixton Mansion! It was like staying in a posh hotel! Cas had a great time playing with Connie and Jonty, although he did pester them a bit. Moreover he loved pestering Toggle the dog. Poor toggle, will Cas never learn that dogs do not like to be bounced on?
We took Cas on the tube to Hamley's, London's famous toy shop, just off Oxford Circus. Beforehand we went to the Winter Wonderland, which was good. Large Christmas market and fair. We had some nice German Bratwursts and hot chocolate. But we also have a good Christmas market in Nottingham, so I am not sure that it was worth that particular trip!
It was terribly cold in London that weekend. We went to the Battersea park zoo. It is a nice city zoo, with some small monkeys and meercats etc. But it was so bitingly cold that most of the animals where hidden inside under heat lamps!
You can't see it in this picture, but literally moments before this picture was taken, a monkey sprayed pee at Chris and Cas.
