We touched down back in London on Tuesday afternoon, ready for work again on Wednesday.
Roslyn’s work Christmas party was on Wednesday at the Rainforest Café. The three course dinner took place in the eatery fully kitted with shrubbery, life size gorillas and jungle sound effects plus a cheesy DJ.
Thursday was Brendan’s Christmas party, scoring a cork hat from his secret Santa because apparently all Australians wear them… ;)
We went out for lunch on Saturday and saw this pimpin’ metallic purple and gold wrapped Suzuki. #swagon
The rest of Saturday was spent working on Roslyn’s final assignments for her Diploma of Human Resource Management, eventually getting them submitted by the end of the weekend.
On to Sunday and we headed across to Hyde Park for Winter Wonderland. Winter Wonderland offers a variety of market stalls, show rides, as well as an ice skating rink and ice kingdom of ice sculptures. A lot of the displays were German themed, making it quite reminiscent of Oktoberfest.
Unlike ‘the show’ in Australia, Winter Wonderland is free to enter and wander around - you only pay for rides or the ice attractions. The only cash we parted with on Sunday was for lunch, however we are booked in to return on Boxing Day to go ice skating with Adam once the Penning’s arrive for their winter Christmas.
After Winter Wonderland we wandered across to Harvey Nichols, another high-end department store, to check out their colourful Christmas display.
