Dear Readers

Bubbles, laughter and all things shiny!

We've put together some bright ideas to bring light into these dark months; food, wine and all things shiny and new that will add sparkle and laughter into our days and nights.

It's great to see the Art Car Boot Fair on Lambeth High Street continuing their irreverent tongue in cheek twist on the art world, peppered with the presence of celebrities – both buying and selling!

Above The Stag in Vauxhall, the new theatre continues to dazzle with stories of complicated love and loss, but always spiced with the absurd and humour, cleverly reflecting so many of our lives! This venue gives a much needed kick start for those positive endorphins, at what can be a challenging time of year for any of us.

Owen has devised some well-researched pairings of bubbly and decadent food while Mel has been exploring unique local gift ideas, so there's something for everyone's wish list this season.

What would our winter's be like without these traditional festivities?

Have fun!

Yours

Angela Webb
