KINGS X 6PM...

LAST SUNDAY...

I've been meaning to try Yum Cha for a while and finally last Sunday I managed to go. I ordered all my favourite dim-sum and they were all very yummy. I thought the xiao long bao were very good, because their skin was thin and the stock delicious.
I must say that I came here because I heard that their pan-fried turnip cake was exceptional. The turnip cake is probably my favourite and I could eat tons of it. This one was succulent and I really enjoyed it.
All in all my experience at Yum Cha was a positive one. The dim-sum were good quality and fairly priced. I'm very happy that I won't need to go into town everytime I fancy some genuine tasting dim-sum.
Yum Cha is located on Kentish Town Road, where the old Silk&Spice used to be.

After such a big lunch, I decided to go for a walk. From Kentish Town up to Parliament Hill, then to Highgate and back home to Crouch End. A fair, pleasant walk.

People were swimming and diving in the ponds in Hampstead Heath. It looked like good fun, but I'm not sure I'd like to dip in there...

For dinner I visited my local chippie for the first time in 5 years! Not too bad. I only got chips. I'm not a big fan of deep fried cod. I like the paper bag though :)

FUN IN ALEXANDRA PALACE

In spite of the weather, I ventured out in search of a slope to sleigh and to take "my own" pictures. I walked up to Alexandra Palace.

I bought some heavy-duty gardening refuse bags!

I envied all the kids...

Who needs the Alps?!

LOTS OF SNOW!!!

This is Crouch End, as I woke up this morning. The buses aren't working, so I cannot get into work today. Hooray!

To tell the truth, I am warm in my bed, watching the snow falling from my window. Odhran took these pictures early this morning and sent them to me. Hi, hi! I am a cheat!

GREEN ARMY INVADES LONDON :)

A "supreme" Kermit the frog has been spotted in several locations around London. I wonder who's behind this ;)

Apparently Kermit has made his appearence in other cities simultanously: Tokyo, LA and NYC.

What is he up to?
