A London Christmas themed walk

[kazzy_cee]

Yesterday's walk around London celebrating the carol The Twelve Days of Christmas was an adventure. It started with delays to our train (a tree on the railway line down towards the coast) and ended with heavy rain. It was interesting but turned out to be just a walk around London with some tenuous connections to the Carol and many historical facts

Looks sort of gray and dreary there. Still, a nice day! thanks!

It was quite miserable, but we made it through the afternoon :D

And after enjoying your photos, I'm glad that you did. :DD

I didn't realise you couldn't take Xmas crackers on the plane! Never really thought of them as 'explosive' 😂

[kazzy_cee]

Neither did we - I suppose it makes sense even though its a very small amount of explosive.

Sorry the connections to the Carol were only tenuous but it looks like an enjoyable walk anyway.

Having once burnt my hand on a spark from a cracker I can see why they might be thought explosive!

It was OK - if the weather had been a bit better I don't think I would have minded so much, but tramping around in the cold and rain was a bit frustrating. It could all have been done online really as apart from the Goldsmith's building and a few churches there weren't many physical links to the carol. I imagine tourists would enjoy it more than we did. I'm still glad we went though - it was lovely to see St Paul's again.

English Christmas is so romantic and beautiful, I hope to enjoy it someday

Well they are very commercial now. They were nice for prosperous people back in Victorian times.
