christmas is here

The shopping is done and the tree has a few presents under. The turkey is in the freezer and the roast pork is ready to go.The best thing I have found to do is wait till you have an idea for a gift and then head to the right spot
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES GO TO JUST BROUSE.
Yuck just ttooooooomany sad christmas shoppers out there.Brunswick street has been good and I found a really lovely girl in her shop called "claude the bird". Plenty of hand made gifts for the most deserving amongst my family and friends.
