I was lucky enough to be on a "wellbeing and shopping day" off school yesterday, just as the RMT started their month-long strike, so I just had to go up to London and see all the big Christmas decorations! Every year Tate Britain commissions an artist to do a big winter thing, and this year Anne Hardy has turned the facade into a ghostly ruin.


It's called "Depth Of Darkness, The Return Of The Light" and has a soundtrack of rain, thunder, birds and insects.

It turns out Anne was born in 1970, just like me, which means (hint hint) we'll both be 50 next year. Also spotted from the 1970 vintage was this great Greek restaurant in Fitzrovia, near the Post Office Tower.


And the other Christmassy thing I saw was a genuine gingerbread house - well, almost! Balthazar in Covent Garden have turned their restaurant into a child's dream come true.
