The Wandering Line

The Wandering Line is a new shop in Brighton Road, Purley with everything for quilters - fabrics, threads, buttons, ribbons, and the most amazing long arm quilting machine which sews beautiful repeat patterns onto padded patchwork. My favourite pattern is dragonflies.

Piccadilly

Stroll through Burlington Arcade, past the Royal Academy with Anish Kapoor’s amazing sculpture in the courtyard , cross over to catch Fortnum and Masons’s beautiful Christmas windows, and finally greet the bronze statue of Beau Brummell, festooned with pink feathers and sequins.

Winter Wonderland

The funfair in Hyde Park had rides galore, an ice rink and a Christmas market. We visited on January 3, the last day, with some sparkly pink accessories to cheer up Santa, Rudolf and the Snowman.
