Another leg in our very London Christmas - a trip to the Colisuem theatre to see the Nutcracker Ballet.

This has long been something Lauren has wanted to do and what better way to do it than taking along our little Ballerina for her first ballet. Needless to say that she loved it to bits and was dancing all the way out of the theatre.

The National Ballet is made up of a number of excellent dancers from all over the world and it truly was a magical experience, the theatre, the sets, the music and the standard of the dancing really showed why London is the home to the stage.

A film clip from it below.

Adding to the magic at this time of year is the FOG. London is covered in a thick fog in the mornings and evenings. There will be no snow this year - it is too warm across Europe for that. The fog is the thickest I have ever seen.
