FLY TO LONDON WITH THESE BOOKS THAT WILL GIVE YOU COZY VIBES AND WONDERFUL INSPIRATION!

Some places are magical, especially during the Christmas season. London is one of those! When I go there, I always shop at Fortnum & Mason. It’s a national icon, a British institution, and the finest grocer of them all. Fortnum & Mason is a store that has fuelled the tide of British history and fed the appetites of kings and queens, maharajahs and czars, emperors, dukes, and divas alike. Tom Parker Bowles (yes, the son of Camilla!) wrote three excellent books for F&M. I love all of them, and I even have a copy signed by the author.
