Christmas illuminations


A mixture of things in this post but mostly pretty lights around christmas time. I 'attempted' to go to the Winter Wonderland event at Hyde Park with some friends but we didn't realise you had to have tickets and by the time we got there it was at full capacity! That's London for you but it's ok because I just like to visit the city, I don't mind where we go :) Ultimately these are the best photos I could get from the outside of the ferris wheel.  


We decided to go to Zizzi's for lunch and I was fascinated with the cups they give you for tea. They're so cool! I think its designed this way so that you don't burn your hands when picking up the cup. 


I love the colours of the tea. Also a pretty cool saucer!


...and then there was hot chocolate. 


A little snap nearby the marble arch. It was so flipping busy! 


I bought some heart shaped fairy lights from Vinegar Hill to put around my bed frame and also found this paper star garland in Toast made by Tudi Billo Papers.  









In November it was my Dad's 50th Birthday so we had a family meal at Ston Easton Park to celebrate. We booked a room for the lunch and had the library next door to have drinks in.







A butterfly wanted to join the party. 


Desserts are my thing so of course I had to photos of that too. They did this for my Dad on his sticky toffee pudding.
