Beating the Winter Doldrums in London

Winter in London isn't very cold, from a Canadian perspective. 

Temperatures rarely go below freezing in the city. 

But, with a latitude of 51 degrees north, it means that in the winter the days are very short and the nights are very long. 


In the morning, it can be close to 8:00am before twilight peaks out.

Look What I Found on a Country Walk!


I have a friend that organizes a group of us to go on country walks.

It is awesome, I don't have to organize anything and I just show up at the train station to follow the group!

Downside: I never really know where I am.

A Hidden Gem - The Foundling Museum


London is full of Hidden Gems. In fact, there are so many it becomes overwhelming trying to prioritize which ones to see.   
 
The Foundling Museum is one of those gems.
