Christmas is only a few weeks away and I have been 'Christmas-ifying' the pots round the garden with the smaller branches of Christmas tree and the Hazel catkins on their bare stems from the woods. I keep the larger branches for vases in the house and the little snippets are tucked into the edges of the pots so nothing gets wasted.
Christian Dior started Dior in December 1946 just as the war ended bringing glamour into people's lives, and I think week 3 of lockdown 2 needs some serious glamour.
In the last week, I have been enjoying the incredible colours of the beech trees in our local woods - amazing golden yellows, burnt oranges and those wonderful peridot lime greens. In the early morning, the mist hangs in the woods creating a fairytale atmosphere. I almost feel as if Robin Hood or Snow White might be walking there, whistling in the semi-darkness.

Sadly, in line with the new government guidelines, we are closing the store on Sloane Street from 6pm on Wednesday 4th November.
