CHRISTMAS IS COMING.......

There's no putting it off Christmas is definitely on the way.  We try to defer it a little until Mabel's birthday on 12th December, as we've realised from the past two years it gets a little forgotten in the preparations. I've been attending a few Christmas Fairs and still have another 3 events to go until I finish on the 11th with the Twinkling Firs Christmas Craftacular at Topsham. 

Last week I had a much needed couple of days in London, I met up with my friend Jaz from Brighton and we had a fantastic day shopping, talking, walking, eating and drinking. A came back refreshed and feeling ready for Christmas, with a lovely new pair of expensive boots (my Christmas present)!  There was no deferring Christmas in London it was everywhere and very lovely it was too!

LONDON, FRIENDS, THEATRE & FOOD

Bella and Me have just got returned from a few days in London.  On Saturday we met up at Oxford Circus with our friends Jaz & Caitlin to see The Wizard of Oz at The London Palladium.  We met Caitlin and Jaz when we were living in Brighton and the girls have been friends since they were babies.

We came upon this man as we were leaving the theatre in a narrow street in London, he had disassembled his bike and and set it up as a drum kit. Brilliant!!

The New Spitalfields

When I was living in London I used to love walking around Spitalfields and Brick Lane on a Sunday afternoon, the food, the people and the endless rows of interesting market stalls and little shops. I took Bella there on Sunday, and although she had a good time I don't think she quite shared my enthusiasm. The walking, crowds and unknown food, left her wanting to know where the nearest Burger King was!!

And what were these?
