So, on Christmas morning it suddenly occurs to me that I should change into my festive slippers, the red ones with gold trim. I don't have any festive slippers ā never have. Nor even any red slippers. So whose memories have slipped through to me?

A place I miss ā Notting Hill Books, a really delightful little shop that was run by Sheila Ramage for 45 years until she had to close in 2012. I was told that she had the had it at peppercorn rent from the neighbouring Czech Embassy on condition that she never asked for repairs or maintenance!
