At the salon

Mother-daughter quality time at the nail salon.

We had ourselves a merry little Christmas

Best of both worlds if you ask me, with a mixture of a traditional Swedish and typical British xmas over a two day period. 

Christmas Eve morning

 

Christmas Eve - the morning of.

Ginger snaps, milk and a few pressies from Santa before our booked lunch at Cecconi's. 

Festive Fizz

Our child free compulsory festive fizz at the seafood bar in Selfridges followed by some last minute xmas shopping. 

Weekend in Zurich

On 14th of December when both kids had broken up from school, we went to Zurich for the weekend. 

Main purpose was to visit our friend Olga and her daughter Sophia that we befriended in Bodrum in the Summer (they also came to visit us in London back in August).

We stayed at the Ambassador hotel where we had two rooms and a balcony with gorgeous views. Couldn't fault it! 

First night we met up with them and strolled around the town first, then headed for dinner at Quaglinos. Second night we took the train to Frauenfeld (35 mins) to visit them in their house, had drinkies and ordered pizzas. 

In Zurich there are pretty much real fir trees and delicious whiffs of Glühwiein and Raclette on most streets, Christmas markets in every little square, and let's not forget the beautiful lake Zurich! And because it was a clear day when we were there we got a wonderful glimpse of the snow capped peaks in the background. 

To be frank (Swiss franc lol!) - Zurich really delivered! 

Sleepover at Mum's

Yesterday morning I went to drop off Scarlett Grace at Mums where she'll be staying for the next few nights, and a last minute decision had us in her local for a long lunch and Christmas drinkies - spontaneity at it's best ❤︎
