Harrods looks as if it could be made of gingerbread, anyway, don't you think?
And though it had never struck me before, Christian Dior bore a remarkable resemblance to a gingerbread man. What a brilliant idea to recreate Dior's atelier, his seaside childhood home and his chateau in Provence as an entrancing gingerbread grotto. Free to get in - and when you think that a visit to Father Christmas at Hamleys is a whopping £50, I'm sure lots of little girls would prefer this. Only grown-ups on the morning I went - but it was a schoolday - oohing and aahing at all the tiny Dior gowns. Wouldn't Mrs 'Arris have loved it?

    I think CD looks a bit like P G Wodehouse.

    £50?????? My goodness.

    Horrendous, isn't it, Pam!

    And I see what you mean about PG Wodehouse.

    You are so right, Mary. He is the gingerbread man!

    Are you all right, Mary? There's been a long gap. Hope all is well.

    I'm fine, thanks, Pam. Just a mild attack of January lethargy - and somehow, the longer you leave posting, the harder it is to get back. I think I managed to get more done when I was working longer hours!
    Hope you're well, too - and belated happy new year!

    PS Pam - I couldn't manage to comment on your blog - but your amaryllis are splendid! I keep giving mine the benefit of the doubt in the hope that they will flower again - and they have, occasionally, in the past but nothing but spindly leaves in absolutely ages. I'm not the most nurturing of plant-lovers ... do they need feeding?
