little sis in london

when i was 5 years old, my parents gave me a great birthday present: my little sister. she's not so little anymore, but she's still one of the best presents i ever got. does it still count, then, that my parents sent her to me as a christmas present?

we enjoyed hot chocolate and fancy bread at liberty, my favorite london department store. not that i can ever afford anything there - the way i see it, i go there to visit all my pretty things which just so happen to live somewhere other than in my closet. ah, i love liberty...


those of you who know our first names will know why this picture is special. incidentally, it wasn't as hard to find brandreth road as you might think - this road is between balham station and my flat, so i walk past it everyday. coincidence?


we also took a "flight" on the british airways london eye. we timed it for the late afternoon so that we got both sun and sunset. we hadn't really counted on the snowy sleet while we waited in the queue... brrr!






i guess it's not that easy to wash the windows on the london eye...
















we had a great time together bringing in 2006!
