Christmas Baubles

People say that Christmas seems to arrive earlier every year. Personally I'm pretty sure it arrives every October, right on cue.

I wandered down Oxford Street today and up to Piccadilly and around to Regent Street.

The Regent Street lights are bloody awful. For a street with so many prestigious stores, it beggars belief that all they can manage year-on-year is an animated movie sponsorship deal which leaves us with cartoon characters on lights rather than anything even half decent. What's that all about?!

The Oxford Street lights (which get switched on this Thursday) are rather chandelier themed but I still think that Liberace styled lights beat unknown cartoon characters any day.

Oh, and bumped into the lovely Anne of
InTheFray fame at Bond Street tube on my way to Piccadilly. The other half had originally thought that I was talking to a member of LU staff as Anne has underground roundel badges on her hat and jacket. Hehe.

It was lovely to bump into you (literally) down the ol' Tube yesterday evening! (Especially after work, when I could have done with a friendly face!) Lovely to have met the (very) beautiful other half too! :)
