London Christmas Illuminations & Christmas Parties

In the central London I saw some beautiful Christmas Illuminations.



Christmas is coming soon!


Many Christmas parties around!

When I was eating my Christmas dinner, unexpected disaster happened!


One of my Brussels sprouts flew toward the lady next to me!!!   (*O*)


I hear that she is the wife of the big company's owner!!! (Well-known company!) Oops!!!


My big apologies...


You know what, my husband was like Muttley in Wacky Races when he saw this!!!


That's typical...

Tennis at Queen's Club

My friend is a member of the Queen's Tennis Club.

I was invited to play there today.


I played there before in London Club League. (My friend was the opponent at that time!!!)


By the way this LCL is the 'Invitation only' league. They only invite good(?!) clubs! When I have heard of this I really felt 'being in London'!!!    (^o^)


It is nice to play there although we have to wear white tennis gear!


At some clubs in London we still have to wear something white like Wimbledon. Good to keep the tradition as one of the characteristics.


Nowadays each city has been losing strong traditional characteristics. Nice to feel the history here!!!

Christmas Market in Richmond

Today we went to Richmond to see Christmas market by the River Thames.

Full of water today.


It is nice to walk along the river but might be too cold in winter...

Beautiful Night View in London

It is getting colder & colder, darker & darker everyday.


Might feel depressed...


OK, let's find some positive points in winter.


One is that we can enjoy beautiful night view.

Nice to drive out around London Bridge in order to enjoy the night view. Walking along the Thames is also romantic.


London Eye might be the best place to enjoy the night view. I have not tried it yet though.


If you are making a plan for romantic dating, think of the beautiful night view!!!

Japan & China ♪♪

We are visiting Japan & China for next holiday.

Very exciting!!!


At this moment China & Japan are conflicting over the territory of island... (They might be able to avoid the armed clash though.)


************

By the way a war is always used by politicians & some companies.


It often happens when the politicians want the people to look away from their domestic problems. They sometimes make an obvious enemy to unite as one country. They sometimes use a war for economy. (especially for war industries) They make a war in order to get resources such as oil/metals for some companies.


They might say this is a war to protect our country.


In reality they are using the war! Behind the scene some people are getting benefits!


Many people are killed during the war... Many Innocent people...


On the other hand, the people who made the war are still enjoying their luxury life!!!


I do not feel fair!!!

Scenery from our Car

In London streets & shops are already illuminated.


I took some photos from our car.

I also saw the people ice-skating at the Natural History Museum. Already in such a season!

Well, I am looking forward to taking photos 'in still' when go out next time! (not from the car!)

Autumn to Winter

In London the colours of the leaves have been changing. It is beautiful!!!

Soon after, all the leaves will be falling off the tree.



It shows that winter has come!
