Christmas in Chester - Book of Elsa

Christmas in Chester

In order to change my attitudes towards this holiday, I've decided to embrace it all. From mulled wine to seasonal markets and twinkle lights... think I threw up a little in my mouth then; Nevertheless undeterred I'm Keeping Calm and Carrying On.

Christmas - Gift Guide for under £15

The end of November can only mean one thing, CHRISTMAS is here!

This time of year can be seriously expensive so I thought why not give you guys a run down of the best deals I could find; Bear in mind shops have the advantage over the internet in some aspects as with buying clothes for example. 

Also please don't be conned into the whole bigger is better 'thing' that is Christmas, I've come to believe the best presents not only need to cost the earth but are THE best because thought has been placed. 

So have a think about who you're buying/crafting for: what do they like? What do they need? Are they likely to use the phone sleeve you're about to spend £20 on etc...

Goodluck!

Insomnia - Maya Angelou

Insomnia

There are some nights when

sleep plays coy,

aloof and disdainful.

And all the wiles

that I employ to win

its service to my side

are useless as wounded pride,

and much more painful.

Love watching my baby bro on Sundays afternoon in the freezing cold... No, really I do. Made this video just for him (and the rest of the team) as they did such a great job. Go UPTON!
