Saturday -another backblip

Today felt positively balmy after the cold temperatures yesterday but the trip into the city was somewhat disjointed as there was a replacement bus from Kew to Barnes doubling the journey time.
Luckily we had left early and still got to Borough Market before the masses to indulge in some good cheeses for Christmas. JD went off on his own and ended up buying the most stinky cheese on this planet. He got plenty of strange looks during the rest of the day while I walked up wind from him!

I had looked online to book tickets for The Wildlife Photographer of the Year held at The Natural History Museum and was horrified to see that there was no availability. We decided to go in person to try and get in.
At first there was nothing but then ‘a manager’ went behind the scenes and pressed a few buttons to release two tickets for us on Sunday morning. Result!
While there I took a few phone shots of the ice rink.
