This New Year was very different. Instead of going to a Watchnight service we went down to London. On New Year's Eve we had a lovely mean at the best Portuguese restuarant in London, Domigos. As usual the Perieras family made us welcome and a good time was had by all.
The restuarant is almost next door to the Ealing Christian Centre who were holding a New Year service. It was so encouraging to see so many people making their way to church. What has this church got that so many Methodist churches seem to lack?
On New Year's morning we were up early to visit the London Wetland Centre as it opened at 9.30am. This is truly an impressive place created on the site of a redundant resovoir and attracting a wide range of birds into the heart of central London. I was especially pleased to see a Bittern. These are hard enough to see in more remote locations, to see it framed by Hammersmith Broadway was truly awesome!
In the afternoon we explored the London end of the Grand Union Canal at Brentford. This starts in Birmingham and we have walked various sections but never seen the point where the canal joins the Thames, opposite Kew Palace.
All in all a good break and healthy start to the New Year
