Camden Lock Markets

Hayley is so happy because I finally finished my Christmas shopping for the day.

Start your day with a healthy serving of vehicular damage

The skip was parked behind my car less than a week ago and emptied this morning. What sucks the most is I'd been meaning to move it thinking this would happen but hadn't gotten to it yet. And no, the skip driver didn't leave his contact details - so begins another nightmare battle for compensation.

It snowed most of Monday, and unfortunately everything but shops and pubs were closed. As the weather got worse over the weekend, the highlight of the trip was definitely Bruges - we could have easily spent the whole weekend there relaxing instead of trudging in the cold from one train station to the next.

Castle of the Counts, Ghent

And just to mix things up, it's snowing.

Bauhaus Bar, Bruges

After a day of hail, medieval buildings, canal rides, waffles and chocolate we're in the hotel bar for the AB's vs Wales.

Falling on my head like a memory
