After lunch with a friend at the cafe downstairs at Westminster Cathedral - their menu is limited, but they serve excellent scrambled egg on toast - we went to the South Bank. There was a short opera workshop going on when we arrived, which we joined in, and then wandered along the South Bank, looking at all the stalls, which are all a bit like German chalets, and were selling a wide variety of items - trinkets, clothing, fast food, chocolates, jewellery and much more.
It was very, very crowded - far too crowded to enjoy being there with anyone, as you were constantly in danger of losing them if you were not careful.
But there was a jolly atmosphere there - everyone seemed happy, with lots of talking and taking pictures. The weather was fairly mild for the end of December, and although it rained later, it wasn't heavy.
