London Sojourn: One day of winter and spring

On a couple occasions we visited London Center and on my last full day, we visited again the Winter Wonderland Fair which had opened in Hyde Park for the holidays. There were some booths but few and the main attractions were a skating rink and many rides aimed at younger children. There was also an area in which kids could bungy jump and bounce up and down until they presumably exhausted themselves. We elected to ride the ferris wheel of which I show two photos

and a view from the wheel of the skaters.


We left the 'winter' and walked across more of the parks and found signs of spring, a wonderfully flowering cherry tree in St. James Park,



pelicans and ducks in the water also in St. James Park,







and the sun gleaming off the golden gates situated at the entry to Green Park, on the side of Buckhingham Palace.
From there we walked to Trafalgar Square to see the Christmas tree and have a final lunch together in a pub close by.
