Because of your AMAZING BLOG, we recently found our way to "Flat White" in SoHo. not only was the coffee and nosh great, but the folks in there were wonderful, a very happy experience and place indeed. The fabric shoppes and street market were good fun too. We hale from California, but find ourselves in the UK a few times a year. Thank you Shuna for sharing your heart and soul. Good Luck with this new adventure.
Cheers
Hello Leslie-- this is fantastic news! I love passing on good reccs and I'm glad you appreciate them. Thanks for your good words. ~ Shuna

I wanna be there walking arm in arm with you staring at the twinkling lights together, laughing and keeping warm as we can keep in that wet, wet cold.

Oh I'm so so so so so jealous!!!! It's my favorite time of year to be over there, and instead, I'm stuck in stupid Washington, DC. I know you are swamped with 10 billion things to do, but a Flickr set of Christmas in London (day and night) would make this girl's day!!!
Hope all is well.....

I love the stars!
I wish they would think to do that in Hollywood.
Thanks for the cool images, Shuna! I am especially fond of that second photo.
Cheers,
