The night before
School's out, work is on pause and the cottage industry is closed for Christmas. It's finally here after months of waiting and we're all beside ourselves with excitement.

Next day checked out the city centre and walked around the dock area which was pretty cool and took a few pics. then in the evening did a mini ...
Easy day =)
... eat a large supper (which is actually what they call lunch in England), and lucky for me I got a true English breakfast!!! Let me say that English bacon trumps Canadian bacon in every way shape or form. It is thick with little to no fat, Comeon Canada lets pick it up in the bacon department (says the girl who just got a Jew tattoo, haha)!
