How many stars video links



How many stars are there in the night sky?

And how many animals know how to fly?

How much ice cream do I eat in a week?

And how many years does it take to learn Greek?

 

How much of the planet is covered in snow?

And how many dinosaurs lived long ago?

How much bright sunshine do plants need to grow?

So many questions, so much I don't know

London is an amazing place all year round but at Christmas it is just unbelievably beautiful. The lights the displays the atmosphere... It is really breathtaking. It is a crazy busy city for eleven months of the year. When December comes along we can see all the busy Londoners making time to take a step back from their routine and just appreciating that the city has to offer 

One of the things I really enjoy doing at Christmas is buying amazing gifts for my loved ones. One thing I love doing is window shopping. I’ll spend an afternoon looking at window displays without really buying anything just trying to gather ideas and inspiration 

London is so great for shopping. The most famous street is Oxford Street but I really like King’s Road as well. The luxury brands really compete with each other. Some of them are pretty impressive. Another lovely place to visit in London at Christmas time is Covent Garden the center of which used to be a fruit and vegetable market and then in the 1980 th it changed to a shopping center. There’s lots of lovely little shops and you can see some street performers if you go at the right time. 

I enjoy heading down the South of the River and appreciating the views of the River Thames from one of the London ‘s many bridges. It really does make me feel very very small in such a big city. One of my favorite lunch spots is one of the largest and oldest food markets in the whole of London. Borouch market in 2014 celebrated its thousand birthday. If you do head over to Borouch market don’t forget to try some of the hot cider. Perfect warm you up on a cold day
