Well, winter is here which means the festive season is nearly upon us..... Second to seeing the first lambs of spring, my most favourite time of year! I love EVERYTHING about Christmas, ordering my meat, decorating the house, a visit to Santa with my little lady and a seasonal shopping trip with my fabulous sister! Every year we set the date and have a day, just us and comfy (although not always fabulous) shoes, in London.... A definite festive highlight and we cherish every hour of the day!

My only niggle about Christmas is, it seems to creep into the store earlier every year! We seem to be replacing pumpkins and spooky costumes with tins of quality streets and isles of festive treats!!! I think everything about Christmas is fabulous but it doesn't need to start so early!

I write lists for everything ...... So right now I'm planning where to take my tiny one to see Santa, organising my diary of events and catching up with friends! Without fail my tree will be up on the first day of advent and I'm not ashamed to admit I'm a complete 5 year old at heart and wouldn't change it for anything!!!

Come & visit us at our Christmas shopping evening, The Star Cafe, Star Road, Partridge Green, Thursday 2 December, 630~10pm. All welcome, help us make it super Christmassy & a fun evening :)

More soon
