Weekly Love: Week 212

Why is it that I may finally see some snow this morning (having missed the last round of white while I spent a lovely and relaxing week in France eating, drinking, reading, watching films and playing Monopoly – more on that in a few upcoming blog posts) when it might be the least convenient? I’m back to London this afternoon, and the last thing I need is the wrong type of snow on the train tracks so I don’t make it all the way to St. Pancras! Not least because when I finally get there I’ll be switching advent calendars (I have two this year!) and I’ll have 15 days worth of Cadbury Heroes chocolate to enjoy in front of the television tonight! 

1.  Mummy/ Daughter pizzas at Chapter Canterbury. | 2. Judging the 2017 Canterbury Christmas Windows. | 3. A bottle of wine by the fire at my favourite creperie in Brittany. | 4. Beautiful Christmas lights in Canterbury. | 5. Langoustines for lunch at the simply flawless Auberge de la Cour Verte in Dol de Bretagne, Brittany. | 6.
