Real Tennis

Today I watched my first ever Real Tennis match. Have you ever seen this game? It has been played since Elizabethan times. There is even a bell attached to one side of the court. If you hit the bell and get it to ring- you win the point!

Christmas Eve in Cambridge

Today I went to King's College to queue for the famous sung service done with King's College Choir. Unfortunatly, I locked myself out of my flat and had to wait for someone, on Christmas Eve Day, to come out with a spare key. Thus I was not in line early enough to get in to the service (boo).

I did get to see the choristers come across from their school. I thought to listen to the service from outside the chapel but it started pouring down rain.

The service is available online here, and it will be played on BBC worldservice.

Merry Christmas!

A Day in London

I spent Thursday in London with James. We went to Westminster Abbey, where I haven't been in 6 years. I tried not to be a 'Da Vinci Code' tourist and just look for the sites associated with the book. Unfortunatly, we weren't allowed to take any pictures inside.

We also visited Covent Garden and went window shopping on Oxford street. It was all very festive!
