Repost • @sarahsmartdraws I wish I looked like this Christmas shopping but it’s more what I can grab when hearding two kids out the door! And don’t even get me started on my husband 😜 Got up early this saturday to hit a few local shops before it got busy. This one is a weird one, but there’s nothing like a bit of local spirit to get you feeling a bit more festive🎁

Lockdown No2. Day Twelve
.
After the the joy of the Christmas lights yesterday, let’s enjoy some twilight window cheer.
Harts Books with their festive window.
The new studio gallery of artist Heath Kane with a surprising splash of festive red.
A seasonally appropriate domestic door and window.
Oshe Shoes in deep twilight.
Talents and their quaint window just waiting to show off its Dickensian style each Christmas.
Harts Books with their novel click and collect counter...and a poinsettia.
It may be lockdown but it isn’t holding back the cheer.
