Another thing is they all have a drink at lunch, Leanne said its like this every day at lunch. It looks like a convention for something, lots of suits having a drink.
I found out about an auction a butcher has every year on Christmas eve morning. Having nothing to do that morning i decided to go and see it. At first glance i saw what looked like a mob but it was the auction.
The auction has been going on for over 30 years. If you want a deal on meat this is the place to be, but you better have a big freezer. They were selling everything from pork, beef, and poultry. The auctioneer would hold up a piece of meat, name a price and people would start waving money. This picture shows the selling of pork chops, they must have sold 20 of them.
This is a prime rib that was auction off. If we had room in our freezer i would have bought one.
After a fun day of watching people spending i went home and cooked our turkey. Leanne got off work early and we had a great dinner. Latter on we decided to work on a 1000 piece puzzle. At first we thought we could get it done in one sitting---wrong, it would end up being a two day puzzle.
As we did the puzzle Coach would sit and look out the window. He never did this in the states so it seems odd when he does it. The view is from the second floor so he gets to see all the coming and going in the neighborhood.
The day after Christmas we did another walk from Leanne's London walk's book. This one would take us thru Belgravia an area in west central London.

This area is a who's who of people that live here, and also a large amount of embassy's.
This is St. Lukes church, Charles Dickens was married here in 1836
And another pricey area, these "cottages"go for over $2 million and i don't think there was even a garage. Nice area but not for that kind of money.
So this was our first Christmas out of the states.
