2010 was a year heavy in travelling for me, which is likely the main reason for my complete lack of planning any trips over the end-of-year holidays. There’s also a lot going on in the background, which may have contributed as well. Originally I thought of the Continent, or at least an attractive place within the British Isles, but with the current travel chaos, even the latter plan sounds like too much of a hassle.

So I am trying to come up with some plans, which it would be nice to share. I wonder if there are other people stranded in London with no Christmas plans who’d like to meet up for something along the lines of:

  • Going to the Tate, or the Natural History Museum, or any other Place Of High Culture
  • Visiting Kew Gardens (they have a winter close-up photo competition by the way)
  • Watching the Dr Who special (I don’t have a TV set, though)
  • Any other event that is going on

Work-wise I’m on call for emergencies for the next two days, and then off Mon and Tue. Any takers, send me a message or leave a comment.
