Winter Wonderland

It's finally summer in New Zealand, and while you've all been working on tans and bikini bodies I've been buying coats and scarves and bundling up in preperation for my first London winter (god help me).

The thing is, and I know this sounds stupid, but Christmas in winter time feels completely right. Snowflakes and Santa, roasted chestnuts and mulled wine...you get my drift. So getting into the festive swing of things, Alice and I decided to go to Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park.

It is possibly the most magical Christmassy place I've ever been. You can wander around sipping on mulled wine, riding roller coasters, and perusing the market stalls.

We obviously had to get hot dogs, and it seems like there about 30 vendors to choose from, but for a great atmosphere head to the Bavarian Beer Hall.

Beer, hot dogs and Christmas... It doesn't get much better!
