Window #18

Jonathan's Cohen's Christmas Sing-Along at the Royal Albert Hall is a much enjoyed event in the run-up to Christmas. We have been attending for probably ten years now.  Jonathan's mother first invited me to go with her when she had an extra ticket.  I came home and told Bob that was the best Christmas concert I had ever been at, and next year we must both get tickets. Since then we have invited various friends, and every year everyone comes back again, that's how much fun it is. Today we had a box for 12, but sadly the weather was atrocious across London, and only 9 of us managed to make it to the Albert Hall. Ironic that as we sang of our longing for a White Christmas and Winter Wonderland, half the hall was empty at this sold out show because we in fact had a White Christmas Winter Wonderland to contend with.

Mid morning the snow came down at blizzard force in North London. We probably had four inches of snow in two hours. Fortunately, the storm wound down pretty quickly, and the Tube was running at almost normal speed.

With all the snow and excitement I forgot to take a single photo so I had to crib this photo of Jonathan and Sophie-Louise Dann from the Albert Hall website.

As usual we hosted a supper for everyone here afterwards.
