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!
