Weekend Walk in Hampstead
Hello all! Anyone who follows me on Twitter will be aware that I have been house-bound and bedridden with terrible flu for the last week, meaning all Christmas activities, photos and plans have had to be put on hold. Today is the first day that the fog seems to be clearing, after days of feverish temperatures, endless sleeping and total-body aching it seems to be on the way out. Phew is all I can say! Though, I did get diagnosed with a bit of a chest infection today and as such I am rasping like a dog, around the flat that I have been penned into for the last 5 days straight. Enough of me feeling sorry for my flu-suffering self, Christmas is but a day or so away and it’s time to get a excited! No grand plans for me this year other than visiting the family and hoping for a full recovery in time for January.
I don’t have much to share sadly. However, I wanted to say ‘hello’ to everyone, as other bloggers are sharing such lovely gift guides I felt inspired, unfortunately (due to illness) all I have is a few sad shots of my weekend in Hampstead from a some weekend’s a go. I had such great plans to try and dream up some stunning present selections but every-time I dragged myself to the laptop to start I fall asleep or got distracted by other people’s attempts (ha,ha!)I’m a terrible blogger!
So here they are, a few snaps of my trip to Hampstead village and heath. There was snow, frozen ponds, wildlife, lots of dogs, hundreds of craft fairs, real hot chocolate and plenty of cold fresh air – bliss! Blew the cobwebs away a treat and you can always count on this part of London to make you feel like you’re not in London at all!
Craft, Cake, Christmas and an Elf
Today was a good day. What day filled with friends, cake, fizz, Elf and craft couldn’t be good? That’s just what we did, today was a Christmas crafty day will with cakes, roast dinners and lovely ladies. Now it’s starting to feel a lot like Christmas, all I need is Miles Tinsley to come come from America and all will be complete.
Christmas is always such a busy time for me, work is bonkers and my social calendar goes from nothing to all – I’m not moaning, oh no, I love Christmas but it does leave much room to take a breath. I am so looking forward to heading home in a few weeks, having time off and getting festive.
The tree is up in my flat, I went for icy blue, white and silver ornaments this year – with a very funny white feather owl topping the tree this year. The owl was Miles’ idea, he really took a shine the the bird in Liberty this year?!
With the cold weather here to stay I’ve been mostly reading the new copy of Lula, painting my nails hundreds of times with Models Own glitter polishes (I’ve got glitter fever this Christmas), watching the trash-factor and wearing a puffa jacket (something I always said I would never own). How’s everyone else Christmas preparations going, are the decorations up?
