...when a number of intrepid Pros fans headed south (and east, and across the sea, and down the A1), and found themselves having a gorgeous few Pros-y days in a couple of rather cool pubs, a YHA, and some very good company indeed... on our Scarsdale weekend! *g*

It began with [livejournal.com profile] foxcat74, [livejournal.com profile] moonlightmead, [livejournal.com profile] murphybabe and myself in an IYHA in Holland Park...

(more about that later)... gathered up [livejournal.com profile] ladyhawke2 along the way...

...progressed past the halls of power and shiny lights...

...to the even shinier (and sometimes slightly startling) world of the Cologne Christmas market...

...where may have been hot chestnuts and mulled wine, and then strolling further along the south bank...20121130 04Southbank

...past my favourite fire juggler (he was still there from last year!)...

...alongside old man Thames...

(I'm afraid I like that second pic best... *g*)

...until we got to our eating place of sparkly lights...

The food was Anatolian, and tasty...

Then it was over the bridge, and past the shadowed ships that sail across night-dark London...

...and onto the tube, and home...

You know, I was going to post about the whole weekend all at once, but it's an hour later and it's still only Friday night - ack! There will have to be more tomorrow (oh lucky you!), because it's also bed time... Oh, but it was lush and I want to be there now, doing it again... who's with me?! *g*
