BACK IN LONDON FOR CHRISTMAS

I love London but especially at this time of year because of how festive it is with all the beautiful lights adorning every street. The main reason behind getting my arse on a Megabus for four hours was to go to Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. I mean Cardiff has one but it's nothing compared to the size of London's Winter Wonderland! But of course our first stop was to a cake shop and surprisingly I've never been to Peggy Porschen Cakes so where else was I going to stop first! We managed to time it right and it wasn't completely jam-packed, so we managed to get our photo op outside the beautiful shop front. 

It's such a lovely cake shop, and in the perfect spot if you're just coming off the train or bus in Victoria or heading back to Victoria. Of course getting off the bus at 9:30 we headed straight there to get some well-deserved cake for breakfast!

A pit stop for lunch was a must especially after wandering around all morning in the cold! We headed for the warmth of Zizzi's and may have forgotten it was the last Friday before Christmas but we luckily managed to get a table as well as a free festive glass of Prosecco!

I love this time of year as you can layer up and get all cosy not to mention all the shops packed with winter clothes and Christmas gift sets. We didn't travel four hours to London and forget to pay a visit to Oxford Street and Carnarby. For once Liberty and Topshop weren't the main attractions but the amazing lights that filled the sky! 

We may have timed Winter Wonderland a little too late as we didn't realise quite how big it was! The queues were huge not to mention the several different gates just to enter. But once we finally got in it was well worth it, and we didn't know where to start. Although the rides are slightly extortionate to ride they are great fun and reminded me of being younger when the fair was in town! I definitely have to do this every year, and to remember not to eat before going on the Waltzers!

It's already 2018 and I seriously need to get my arse into gear with blogging more often, so if anyone has any tips or posts they'd like to see, a comment is always welcome!
