The last few weeks I have been racing around London trying to capture the holiday buzz in this fabulous city…
It’s certainly put me in the festive mood but it does mean that my Christmas preparations are very last minute…
We will be spending Christmas in Provence… and because I have been here… well… I haven’t been there…
This weekend will be a frenzy of decorating, food shopping and gift wrapping…
Thank goodness for online and international delivery…
My last minute… very last minute ideas… in no particular order… I hope mine aren’t reading today…
