New Year's Day Ice Skating
8:30 PM
We slept in after a crazy cold night. We will NOT be doing that again (see New Year's Eve post)
New Year's Day is almost all the way back to normal London operation. Stores and restaurants are open and museums busy.
When we have time, we like to walk around neighborhoods near us in the pursuit of our next flat. We check out which grocery stores are near by, which bus lines go through it, and where the closest tube Station might be. Also the ratio of buildings/stores, where the high street is and what shopping is available and how many cars we see. (The more cars, the less walkable the neighborhood might be.)
We took the tube to get to Somerset House!!! Taylor and I went ice skating our first New Year's Eve 2013, our first as a couple. It was the sweetest thing and a milestone in our relationship (first time we said, "I love you"). We missed ice skating in 2014 but it is now set as our New Year tradition!
Bucket list item checked off! Outdoor ice skating in this gorgeous venue.
Feel free scroll down quickly. I won't be offended. It was so pretty I overloaded. Like I usually do.
If you are ever in London in the winter, there are SO many things to do starting from November all through to the first couple of weeks in January. There's no Thanksgiving in the UK to hold people back from celebrating Christmas in November! (see my Winter Wonderland, New Year's and Christmas Day posts)
