Designer Ice-Cream

Rose petals, white chocolate and almonds sprinkled liberally over a magnum ice-cream.

I saw long queues on Oxford St at the front of Selfridges department store, curiosity got the better of me so I went to investigate.  Magnum ice-creams have been around for twenty-five years and are celebrating with a "concept  pop-up store" in the store.  For £4.50 you can design your own personalised magnum.  They say there are over 250,000 possible flavour combinations.  Mind boggles.  Ice-cream will never be the same.  You have until September to join the queues - marshmallow and chilli anyone?

Christmas windows

The Christmas lights have all been turned on by well known (and some lesser well known) celebrities. Now it's the turn of the big store windows to vie for our attention.  They shout out "come on in, you know we have everything that you could possible want or need to buy as a Christmas gift for anyone".  In a small twist on a famous line from the Bladerunner movie ... "time to buy"
