Dashing through the snow

Although it already seems like a lifetime ago, I'm still buzzing from the festive season! I had a really good time celebrating with family and friends - especially as my boyfriend arrived for a two week visit on Boxing Day (he's American so we don't get to spend much time together)! That's the reason for my absence from the blog in the last few weeks, but now that we're back from a few days in Prague (more of which later!) I wanted to post a little round-up of how I spent the holidays. 

Christmas Gift Guide

As it’s getting so close to the big day, I wanted to do a last-minute Christmas gift guide! I’m normally the headless chicken running around on December 23rd panic-buying; amazingly, I’ve managed to turn that around this year, but here’s what I’d be pursuing if I still had people to buy for. 

Dear Santa...

I’ve seen lots of ‘Christmas gift guides’ around, and while it’s a bit self-indulgent writing about what I’d like to find under the tree, I thought I’d share them before doing a more traditional ‘gift ideas’ post. Let me know what you think in the comments: what’s on your Christmas list? What are you thinking about getting other people? Do you like surprises or have you already shared your Amazon wishlist with all your family and friends?
