We headed uptown to Islington to the Business Design Centre for my annual dose of ‘trying to get in the Christmas mood’ by visiting the Country Living Christmas Fair. It has a great atmosphere and seemed better organised this year with plenty of places to sit - we were a bit cheeky and used the cafe table and chairs with our surreptitiously smuggled in M&S sandwiches. I have finally started my Christmas shopping with some presents for my friend Sarah, Colin, Mum and Isabelle.
