Esther and Morgan may have missed snow in London by just 12 hours, but we all got another chance to play in the white stuff when we took a weekend trip to Tallinn, Estonia.
Weather reports promised a very chilly weekend, but thankfully the temperatures never got as low as the -12 degrees that had been predicted!
We spent almost all of our time wandering around the beautiful Old Town, exploring the city walls and sliding around on the frozen lake!
We had a great dinner at "Old Hansa", a medieval restaurant in Tallinn's Old Town, where the wait staff recreate the meals and atmosphere of times past. The entire restaurant is lit only by candlelight, and the menu is also a recreation of medieval fare, including the intriguing "Meats of the Forest".

Snow!
As we approach another London winter (not that it felt like we got a summer this year!), it is somewhat appropriate for some snow photos.We were lucky enough to see snow in London twice last winter - the first occasion only two days before Australia Day, and then again a couple of weeks later. The second time it snowed, Alun and I headed to nearby Holland Park to play on our way to work.
February also saw the arrival of Esther and Morgan in London - they missed the snow by about 12 hours! To make up for it, we ventured to the Borough Markets and Tower Bridge with them.

Shanghai
After Christmas at home, we stopped off in Shanghai for a few days on our way back to London.Shanghai was quite a contrast with Beijing (which we visited a few years earlier). The whole city (well, the parts we saw) had a far more western feel.
We saw a few sites and, most importantly, had some great food (love the £ overseas!).
Amazingly, we also survived travelling at 431 km/hour on the Maglev, which connects Shanghai with the international airport.
