Sorry for the delay!
On a stroll round London last month we saw some lovely Christmas windows. At Selfridges, they are paying tribute to two Disney designers, Mary Blair and Eyvind Earle, responsible for some of the most best loved Disney sets, including the castle that forms the backdrops at Disneyland parks the world over.
And we couldn't do Christmas windows without mentioning the best ones of all, Fenwick in Newcastle, who this year had a Dickens' A Christmas Carol theme.
