We had the worst weather that day (well apart from the snow storms in NYC!) but that didn’t deter us from taking the extra subway …

Did you know that Santa spent a massive £168 on each childs stocking last year compared to £75 a child in 1995, Idealo found out in research they recently compiled.

Check out the video below, it’s about Jonathan a soldier who sustained injuries during a tour of duty in Afghanistan. He now plans to embark on a 3 week expedition to Everest with his father.
