In the few days between Christmas and New Year, we take time out to relax before 2025 begins.
This year in London, I have seen more tourists and shoppers congregate in Piccadilly near the famous Fortnum and Mason shop than ever before! Long queues of people winding around Jermyn Street waiting to get in and see the wonderful displays and choices of food items.

The Seasonal decorations on Bond Street are always eye catching.
A visit to Salisbury Cathedral Close resulted in this hauntingly beautiful evening image of the Cathedral – one of my most favourite places.
Now the presents have been opened, phone calls made, photographs taken and sent to friends and family. Food and wine consumed and a reckoning of the extra pounds gained!
These parmesan pastry Christmas Trees and Stars were part of a canapé selection for Christmas Day. Really easy to make either with regular flour or gluten free. Just grated parmesan, flour and some water and mixed in the food processor and baked at about 350’ F for 10 minutes. Quick, easy and delicious.
All best wishes for peace and goodwill in 2025.
