Well, back in London for almost a week now after Barcelona and I guess it wasn’t just Spain that was chilly… it’s RIDICULOUSLY cold here. Most of the country has been getting snow but London just has a sort of gross icy rain. I had a momentary panic when I woke up this morning and my clock said it was 7am but it looked like it was 2am outside – but it was just the clouds and the fact that we’re approaching the shortest day of the year.
I’m really looking forward to going home for the holidays. I love being in London but I desperately need a break in California with the family. The sun is going to be a massive added bonus. Things have been particularly busy at work as we’re approaching the end of the year and my credit card is getting a work out as I try to sort out any sort of holiday shopping.
Last week, before I left for Barcelona, I brought in a pumpkin pie for the office for Thanksgiving. I didn’t actually expect many of them to like it – it is a bit of an aquired taste after all – but it seemed to go down quite well. Here are some snapshots:

Hi Meaghan,
Am enjoying your blog. Found it through stumbleupon. I am impressed by your wonderlust and travels.
I imagine for a Californian you must be cold in London and the UK. But so nice you love tea and the English!
Am a graduate of Stanford so I have fond memories of CA.
I am impressed you went hiking in the Alps. Keep up the good work and have fun.
Have a cool Yule and a Frantic First!

That’s a beautiful pie! I would have been apprehensive about how it would have been received too 🙂 Glad they liked it! (how could they not? hehe)
