Afternoon out with Chie and Erika. Erika wanted to go to the platform 9 3/4 shop in Kings Cross and we also fancied some ice cream. So we first went to the gelateria in Kentish Town, then got the train down to Kings Cross, and spent some of the afternoon down there.

The girls were otherwise engaged for pretty much the whole day, so I decided to head down to the South Downs, to repeat a walk I had enjoyed before - from Worthing to Washington, via Cissbury Ring and Chanctonbury Ring.
I took my GoPro with me so in addition to the photos there's some video footage of my walk:

Lovely blue skies today for the (almost) daily walk to the heath, and made it there in time for a nice sunset.

The usual stroll to the heath. Later on I tried on a mosquito head net a friend had given me as a Christmas present. Thus the strange photo.

Finally a glimpse of a snowdrop flowering in the garden. Yet another trip to the heath in the late afternoon / early evening.

Pizza on the heath for lunch while the girls were at Japanese school. Later on in the early evening the three of us built the Lego bonsai tree which Mum had sent as a Christmas present.

An odd pairing of an old school Gevrey Chambertin (Rene Leclerc - as visited by Keith Floyd) and one of those new fangled fake meat burgers. I doubt very much Keith Floyd would approve of the latter.

Went to the farmer's market on Hampstead Heath in the morning. Later on in the day did some electronics with Erika.

Chie became oddly obsessed with Gallette des Rois ("King's Cake?") this month, and we had a total of three, today's being the first. Also I went to the heath for a bit later on while Erika was at her woodworking class.

Andrew organised a tasting session of Burgundy vs "Bogandy" (Australian Pinot Noir). You can probably guess which one I preferred.

Attempted, unsuccessfully, to get my hair cut towards the end of the morning - I got fed up waiting and went for a pint at the Pineapple instead. Then to the heath for a bit later on in the afternoon / early evening, followed by another visit to the Pineapple later on for dinner, as Erika was out with a friend.

Received a new GoPro camera today, and so took it out for an early afternoon stroll on the heath to test it out. After Erika got back from school I went along with her to her ice skating lesson. Then later on in the evening it was time to wassail the apple tree.

I should have been back at work today, but decided to take this week off as I needed to spend some more time out in the fresh air etc.
