Signs of Christmas – we traveled to London for two days. It was a belated birthday present for Heather – but I received the fringe benefit of attending a play, The Ferryman. The play portrays the impact on an Irish family of ‘the troubles’, a time when Northern Ireland saw deep and violent divisions between Protestants and Catholics.
We also had a visit to the Tate Modern Gallery – a retrospective on the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution.

We love stuffed toys — and you can purchase this cute stuffed toy snow leopard for only £2,400 [$4,154 Cdn]. Sorry – we did not get the price of the cute reindeer.
Fortnum and Mason – a favourite Christmas store
Reindeer casserole – always be careful not to choke on an antler
