Kensington Palace was out first stop today... Filled with stories of the people who over the years have given this place life... stories of George II and Queen Carolne - their lavish parties and her medically gruesome death; the love story of Victoria and Albert ...

 

Some of us got into the royal spirit of things...

 

Look comfortable girls?

 

Playing board games in royal style

 

This beautiful sun filled room had quite a view of Kensington Park

 

princess fashion through the years...

 

Diana lined the walls on the way to the toilets...

 

 

 

Paddington showed us the way to lunch overlooking Hyde Park

 

 

Hamish and Danielle enjoyed a beautiful Christmas concert put on by Christian  performers from the West End who belong to a group called 'West End Has Faith'. It was wonderful!

 

The others loved going to church at St Helens Bishopsgate for their student carols service... at least a thousand people - standing room only! What an encouragement to meet with so many young people to celebrate the birth of our Saviour.

 

We were all served mulled wine and mince pies for supper - Yum!!
