I met up with Nan and Samir for dinner and on the walk from Bond street to Carnaby en route to Cha Cha Moon, I was suddenly greeted by the giant white santas suspended in the air. I was so enwrapped in my thoughts and to suddenly look up at woosh...it dropped me back into the here and now and I realized for the first time that we're fast approaching that time of year where we should slow down...to reflect, to spend time with loved ones, to curl up under blankets...of woolly socks.
I'm beginning to forgo the tube for the bus...and the bus for the walk home. Sure, it takes longer, but I find the quiet and the solitary crispness of the air refreshing. and calming. In those walks home, I may be outside - but I feel like I'm in a space all my own.
