Canary Wharf: a winters day out

Never knew the start of the year would have been so hectic! After the (what feels like a continuous) spell of travelling last year we will be spending some more time in London for the next little while - so, my upcoming posts are more likely to be more food and London days out focussed (hopefully more of an interesting read than wedding planning). After all, as JLO said recently "we seem to be happiest when we are eating or drinking something"... and everything else is just a bonus. One of our days out was with Miss E and JLo at Canary Wharf; as expected, lunch was priority one.

Then it was off to try and see the sculptures, which were scattered around Canary Wharf with a central area where all the activities were going on. Alas, it was freezing and the prospect of having to queue for 40min just wasn't working for us, so we went for a coffee and frozen yoghurt instead. On the way there we did find some chess pieces and a unicorn - and the sun was out!
