Borough Market, London

Visited Borough Market in London last December.This gourmet food market consists of many stalls and very impressive arrays of food produces. I was mesmerized by the varieties of cakes, delectable brownies, pies, cheeses piled high and everything deliciously displayed. It was worth the visit and I would definitely visit the market again when I am back in London. There is even a barbershop where Jonathan went and have his hair cut and he enjoyed chatting with the barber, very friendly guy. Yes, Jonathan came down from Bristol and spend Christmas with us in London.

Merry Christmas Cookies

Christmas is just round the corner and this time I have decided to bake only three types of cookies. This year Christmas I am going to London with my sister Josie to spend Christmas with Jonathan, who is on Christmas break from his University in Bristol. I have lined up an itinerary so that we will be occupied most of the time hoping to enjoy the season over there. I have been to London so many times that I feel it is a really busy time during December. It would seem that London central will be packed full of shoppers and holiday makers. I am going to bring some homemade Christmas cookies so that we can consume it on Christmas day there.

Mark and Spencer Christmas Time 2017

Like I said if you are going to look for some Christmas gifts, Mark and Spencer has it all of its stores.
There are all the regular body, hand lotions and bath gel just to name a few. For men there are the nice smelling colognes and shaving cream. I particularly liked the floral fragrance Florentyna, it is quite a powerful scented Eau De Toilette

Gifts aplenty

It's Christmas Time Again, 2017

The Christmas season is here again and I am already in the mood for some merry making and soaking in the holiday atmosphere. As usual, at this time of the year I like to observe what fun and creative decorations that all the Mall have to offer. This year I think Christmas is being made out to be just too commercialize with each shopping malls trying to outdo one another and to entice shoppers and visitors to shop at their mall. Anyway, it is fun to see all the Christmas trees with all the trimmings being propped up at this time of the year.
