Had a brilliant day in London last week photographing people on the outdoor ice rink outside Sumerset House and generally touring around the sites of London in particular Covent Garden. Below are a few photographs I took on the day.

On 5th December Bracknell held it’s now annual santa run in aid of a hospice. As part of the entry fee you get a santa suit to wear and at the end a mug and a bar of chocolate and a couple of other goodies. It was amazing to see so many people dressed in red in one place. First they let the ‘Reindeers’ go these are the people that can run and think they will do it in under 30 mins. The they let the ’snow men’ go these should run it in between 30-50 mins and the ‘puddings’ are let loose, these will take over the hour and were followed by 2 men dressed up as Christmas puddings on bikes (I guess they were rounding up the stragglers. Below are a couple of photos from the event for more please go to my facebook photos album at 600 santas running.
