    It was a bit chilly today, so made the living room looked homely with the fire on. Keep the dog warm too.

    Now down by the Thames. It was very surreal, with no boats on the water because of Covid19.

    On Boxing day, (the day after Christmas in England), we decided to go to Greenwich Park and Greenwich. Some more photography practicing of course.

    Greenwich
    General James Wolfe and London Sky line

    Built in 1930 to commemorate General James Wolfe (1727-1759), this Grade II listed structure was designed by Dr. Tait Mackenzie and a gift from the Canadians.

    The statue commemorates Wolfe’s victory against the French at Quebec which secured Canada for the British. Wolfe, whose parents lived in Macartney House on the edge of the park, died in the battle.

    The monument was unveiled by the Marquis de Montcalm, a descendant of the Commander-in-Chief of French forces who also died at the Battle of Quebec.

    Wolfe lived in Greenwich and is buried in a local church.

    The Millennium Dome was originally used to house the Millennium Experience, an exhibition to celebrate the beginning of the third millennium.

    It changed to The O2 nine years ago and has since become the best live events venue in the country (not that we’re biased!)

     It’s also home to awesome experiences such as Up at The O2 and a whole host of bars and restaurants.

    Well this Christmas is obviously different due to Covid19, so off we went to our lockdown escape place Knole Park for a Christmas Day walk.

    Virtually every person, we came across, wishes were made for Christmas. ?

    Finally!! An early Christmas present, well for me as I voted to leave. They obviously don’t want any other country to leave after this ridiculous long wait!!

    1,645 days after the UK voted to leave the EU, 328 days after we actually departed, the shape of our relationship with our nearest neighbours has been drawn and agreed – only days before the status quo will disappear.

    The deal that will determine how we do business with our biggest trading partner.

    The deal that both sides desperately wanted to achieve.

    But the deal that was not, even though political logic suggested it, inevitable.
