wow! I used to travel to London every year ust to see the window displays, it was a jolly from work, (I was a window dresser) and 12 of us all went together. We had SO Much FUN! Thank you for the memories! Looks like Selfridges are still entertaining people 30 years later :)
Fab, fab, fab! A few years ago (before daughter arrived) we went to New York for Christmas and queued to walk past the Christmas window displays. Just fab!
Wow, I have never seen anything like it! Stunning! Thank you so much for your comments to my blog. I loved the breathe deep, smell the crap, then breath deep again :). Have you been standing in my house lately? How did you know?!
I love Selfridges, and what wonderful displays they have this year!!! Oh, you make me so homesick for London!!!! Nothing quite as Christmasy as Harrod's, Liberty's, and Hamley's...sigh...Hope you had a wonderful time away!!! Glad to have you back! Missed you! Love you, Janine XO
LOVED visiting your blog, which I found at the wonderful "The Things They Carried."
Today, thanks to you, I traveled to London. Oh, how I love Tiffany's. Have you read Capote's "Christmas Memories"? Love it just as much as the famous one...

I am participating in the One World, One Heart event. This was dreamed up by A Whimisical Bohemian, and is l believe in its third year. If you visit her blog, she has a full list of participants on her sidebar. Basically all you have to do is visit a participating blog, leave a comment and you will be entered into a draw. Some participants are offering several gifts. No catches. No gimmicks. No sales. No links. In the One World, One Heart event I am offering to one lucky winner the following two gifts... a Vintage 1960's silk scarf signed 'Richard Allan' & a Vintage 1960's Glitzy Evening Party Bag The event close on 15th February 2010 and l will announce FFF's winner then.
is next to god awfulness. l enjoyed my London trip on so many levels. Though particularly because I had time to suit myself, time away from pressure of work, time away from the kids, all types of timetables. Time away from decision making, which I abhor with a passion! Sometimes, though thankfully not often when l am alone. Sitting in a coffee shop. Or in line in the bank or supermarket. Waiting in the car in line for the car park. Usually alone waiting.

Whilst feeling the beat of the city...
Monochrome Monday hosted by Aileni As it is very frosty and cold I am driving to work, shameful, yes, as its only 1.75 miles uphill down hill in nose to tail traffic. I park in the nearest car park, courtesy of the City Council, a perk of the job. Thank you very much. And this is what l see on my short walk from car park to work! silhouette of castle gate looking back over my shoulder where l have walked from the very ineffectual Millennium Bridge this is the entrance to the underpass, which takes us under the dual carriageway that separates the Castle from the city, the Museum and Cathedral this is the underpass decorated with old local industrial machinery and the Cursing Stone produced for the Millennium and inscribed with a centuries old curse it receives the wrath of locals as it is considered the cause of all our recent ills, Foot & mouth and the Floods the marble floor containing prominent local and Reiver's name the Whispering Wall, solid glass brick, come alive with...
