Freezing In Early December – Berlin

In April, on our way home from Prague, R and I were talking about where else we’d like to go. R mentioned that he’d always wanted to go to Berlin – to the point where friends back home had actually assumed he was moving to Berlin, not London. Even though he’s now been in the UK 10 years (!) he had never got to Berlin. I decided taking him to Berlin would be the perfect birthday present – his birthday was a fair way away mind, this was April and our birthdays are early December (yes, we have very close birthdays, but I once dated a boy for 6 months who had the same birthday as me, so 6 days is perfectly reasonable).
