Hello again. :) So its that time of the year where it often snows.. Well, not in Bahrain. Maybe a few dust storms and some rain if we're lucky. But i still like to believe that it did snow in Bahrain, once upon a time- so there is hope! Anyway, i'm writing this post because i miss snow and wintery weather and just curling up by the fire reading The tales of Beatrix Potter and drinking hot chocolate. Funnily enough, my Christmas just gone was quite the opposite. I spent Christmas day on the beach, looking out over on to Table Mountain! You guessed it... Cape Town, South Africa. There's no denying it, i had a great Christmas, but it did feel strange waking up on Christmas day and it being summer. I mean, even the Christmases i have spent in Bahrain and Oman have still felt like Christmas and winter, as even though you may laugh, in the middle east it actually can get quite cold December/January time. I'm not joking. Although, writing this post will make me look like a whimp. But believe you me, not everyone would fancy a dip in the pool at this kind of time i'll tell you that... Well, apart from me and my mum- but we're crazy. Wow, i've gone pretty off topic. I was supposed to be just reminiscing over snow and all that jazz... anyhoooo, here are some pictures of things i absolutely love about winter! Feel free to post what you love about winter too :)
Hot chocolate. What would winter be without a delicious cuppa?
Not too sure how to rotate the picture... Anyway, don't particularly like gingerbread at all, but i do love the look of them :) They seem so magical. And the one time i made one (with the help of A piece of cake) but i can't find the picture right now, so your imagination of a 10 year old me holding a mini gingerbread house will have to do ;)
And of course, the Christmas tree..
Family Christmas Dinner.
Nans Christmas pudding. The flame always amazes me...
Curling up by nan and grandads Christmas fire whilst reading a book or watching the new Doctor Who Christmas Special.
Watching Peter pan with alice- I think we were a wee bit enthusiastic. :) But whats Christmas without a melodramatic, cheesy pantomime?
A pointless, giant snowball... that i could hit right at my sisters head.
Making Snowmen. I sacrificed my gloves for him...
There's nothing like sun in winter. I don't know why, but i love it.
Ellie, Laura, and Pat. x
Spending the Christmas with my amazing family- i love you all to bits. :)
What can i say? The picture says it all...
When you wake up and run outside in your PJ's to find that there's snow all over the ground. :)
Not everybody would associate this with Winter or Christmas time, but performing Les Miserables in December 2010 was a truly incredible experience! I miss it so much. This photo is of me and Cari, being factory girls.. as you do.
Writing my name in the snow.. not much to it really.

London <3 so magical and starry.
The annual Christmas Fayre. Buying lots of random shizz, eating tons of cake and taking stupid pictures. love it.
Went to see Wicked on the last day of 2009. Everytime i hear the word 'wicked' i want to burst out into song.
And then Grease (2010). That film is practically my childhood. Going to see it on the West End was ah-maz-ing.
And last but not least, the Christmas Dinner. Turkey, yorkshire puddings, parsnips.. you name it, its on there. Well, except for brussel sprouts. i refuse. :P
Well, all the pictures are what i think of when i think of Winter and Christmas. Oh, i miss it lots. And i'm sure all of you lot here in Bahrain do too. Im pretty jealous of you all back in the UK, if you didn't catch on already. ;) But have fun! But for now, i'm just excited for some rain... Hopefully there will be a rain blog soon to come! bye for now. xx
