- atmospheric 'German style' Christmas market. Buy arts and crafts gifts from cute wooden chalets. Or visit the food stalls for bratwurst, hot chocolate or mulled wine.

Cafe review: Le Pain Quotidien, Southbank, London
What's the curbappeal?
- contemporary farmhouse styling (large wooden communal tables)
- French cafe dining: lovely coffee, croissants and baguettes. I had a silky smooth latte (note they don't do 'skinny's ' here). And a buttery melt-in-your-mouth croissant with ham and gruyere cheese. Lovely!
- The Southbank is an atmospheric place to wander around. Especially at Christmas with the Christmas market.
With love,

Harrods' legendary Christmas lights and window displays...
Harrods teddy's are adorable...
Must be one of the worlds most expensive Doll's Houses for nearly £8,000...
And, a child's electric sports car for £13,000...
Or, a child's electric Range Rover for £40,000...
And now, time for food! ...
Some colourful lollipops - delightful!
A gingerbread house...
