Two days before I left Brighton, I went up to London for an afternoon. I particularly wanted to see Tower Bridge, and somehow missed it the last three times I was in the city. Even though it was INCREDIBLY windy and cold, I still had a fun time seeing the Tower of London and the bridge, and stumbling into the Christmas fair in Hyde Park. The nice part about being an only hour by train from London was that I didn't have to feel like I needed to stay for hours and hours. I got to spend a few hours and then head back to Sussex.
Last Sunday was the St Andrews Christmas Ball. This is the second year in a row that I've gone with Em, and I'm pretty sure that a lot of people think I attend St Andrews Uni. The ball didn't feel as busy as last year, which was nice for dancing. Great bands, free ice cream, and dancing with friends- what could be better for an evening? Probably shoes that had fit better.
This past Saturday Em and I went to Edinburgh for the Christmas market and to wander around for a bit. When it got nippy, we headed inside to the Writer's museum and Armstrongs Vintage shop. This last week has been a collecting of meeting up for drinks and dinners with friends, and it's been so lovely, despite the cold weather.
My time in the UK is at it's end. I leave tomorrow to head back to Phoenix, and I have mixed feelings. I'm glad I'm coming back during Christmas time, because I'll have family and fun to distract me from being done with my adventure. Can't wait to see all of my Arizona family and friends! :)
This dress has seen a lot of travels in the last 3 months!

Obligatory red telephone booth photo- which incidentally, smell HORRIBLE inside.
I did my best for xmas decorations with limited supplies!
