It has just about been and gone now – for some reason, I was totally overwhelmed by xmas this year, I have not done anything terribly exciting: neither gone to an inordinate number of drinks parties or been on a fabulous trip abroad – I think just having a ‘normal xmas’ is just a bit too much for me I am afraid.
We shot one of my favourite features ever this year, for Ideal Home magazine. The owner, Jennifer, runs the excellent home ware website, Urban Cuckoo, a gorgeous cornucopia of interiors goodies.
Her home is a beautifully orchestrated sea of shimmering silver at Xmas. Welcoming and luxurious, Jennifer embodies the spirit of Christmas with her love of family get togethers and generous gifts and meals.
I was inspired by meeting her and loved hearing about her family traditions and celebrations.
We have had a lovely time here in Gullane. Looking forward to a quiet new year though, as my kids are out on the rampage – hoping for an uneventful evening if I am honest!
Wishing you all a fun filled festive period and great 2016.
