Christmas is certainly in the air here in London. The shops are overflowing with all those things we can very well do with out. I am on a charity shop or free Christmas this year. You can see my modest Christmas decoration on my window ledge. The holly complete with red berries was free and wild and picked on Sydenham Hill. The baubles were 1 pound in the charity shop. The red pot plants were saved from the 99p reduced shelf at HomeBase. I have bought and am loving back to health, a few other indoor plants for presents. Bit by bit I am gathering small, interesting and hopefully enjoyable presents.
The weather is very cold, although the mornings are bright, blue skies and sunshine. We are all rugged up well. It is enjoyable to walk briskly at this time of year, and it makes me feel quite like I must be getting fit.,
Finally the communal hallways are nearing the end of the refurbishment. I have included a photo to show you the carpet, just laid this afternoon. All will be finished well and truly by next week. You can see the wonderful art deco life doors in the top photo. I have to say when I saw this lift I knew I wanted to have a flat here!
