COVENT GARDEN, LONDON

COVENT GARDEN, LONDON

A couple of weeks ago, I took myself up to London on the coach with the Real Socialising group. Travelling by coach is significantly cheaper than taking the train, and it’s ideal for me as I can simply sit and read my book. The other advantage is that you can go wherever you want, and my first stops were some of the bookshops.

READING LIGHT FROM YANKEE CANDLE, OUTLET, ASHFORD, KENT

I thought this looked so cute in the shop at the outlet in Ashford, so I made an impulse buy and bought it. I believe it was £30. The changing light colours at the bottom are gorgeous, and the main reading light has three settings, with the last one being very bright for reading. BUT, yes, there is a but.
