Shop Indie This Christmas

I wanted to do something a little different this month, and share some fab indie biz. It’s fairly officially Christmas shopping season, and it’s a great opportunity to support small business; shop indie; and spread a little love to those that may be struggling; as there are no craft fairs or the like this year!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

So here are a range of some of the handmade products from some of my friends online! If you have a small business, get in touch and I’ll happily add you to the list! Please don’t link spam; if you have a gift guide similar to this one, do tell everyone about it in the comments below!

Disneyland Paris 25th Anniversary

I’m so excited to share this post. Writing it has been done on a bit of a high, since we returned! So this is possibly the biggest thing we’ve done this year: Disneyland Paris 25th Anniversary!

Travel

This is the second time we’ve been to Disneyland Paris together. We visited two years ago; and we just had to come back; as a lot was closed for refurbishment when we visited last time. Also because it’s the anniversary! How fun is that!
