As someone lucky enough to call Bath home, I know that in its Christmas season, more than ever it springs to life. From the lights that illuminate the abbey to Christmas tree’s that spring up all over the city and the shop windows that put on their own parade of interesting displays, there is plenty to do in the city.
So I’ll be staying active and popping up plenty of blog posts on anything seasonal, from some of the best local shops to support, where the most fabulous baubles come from, the loveliest fragrances to faint over appear and the goings-on in Bath that make this place a truly magical city.

As the chilly weather sets in, you can find me either shopping around cheerful Christmas markets or curled up in my favourite armchair by the fire surfing the internet for wonderful gifts and sales. This month’s theme seems to be blues, whites and tans, from a beautiful handmade mug from Jo Duck Ceramics to a Padfield leather handbag fashioned from the byproducts of the meat industry, to me this is November.
