If you want to be stirred up for Christmas do go and read the whole of this passage. it's Book v11 Chapter 1 Mrs. Beddows Receives a Christmas Present.
A few instagram images from Liberty's and Fortnum & Mason's Christmas windows. I should think Mrs Beddows would have loved to do her Christmas shopping at these two shops.
Describing the pre-christmas present dilemma beautifully. Oh to have a national income to spend on those I want to!
ReplyDeleteI have a copy of South Riding on my 2012 shelf, but I think I will pull it off to read this passage. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful displays! I love how things just transform during the Christmas period. I read South Riding at the beginning of the year and loved it. Mrs Beddows was my favourite character.
ReplyDeleteTonia Absolutely agree with you & Mrs Beddows.
ReplyDeleteGudrun Oh yes do re read to get into the festive spirit.
A Bookish Space Yes I think she might be my favourite character as well, especially as I'm sure there's a line early on in the book that refers to her slender ankles.
