Festive Fever

Christmas fever has well and truly hit – last night (Thursday 22nd) it was on with the lights on London's o-so-stylish Bond Street with model & author Sophie Dahl doing the honours. "I'm delighted to turn on this year's lights," Sophie said to the crowd who were also enjoying entertainers, reindeer and twinkly rickshaw rides under a white dusting of fake snow. It was the perfect setting for retailers on Bond Street to show off their Christmas wares and get those cash tills ringing.
