Another trip to Stornoway this morning for a hospital appointment, so I thought it prudent to have a quick look around the town centre. I wanted to absorb the Christmas decor and appreciate the effort people have made to decorate the shop windows. It was also nice to pick up one or two little gifts to add to Gerard's stocking sshhhh!
The tree was a delight and I loved the lobster pots around the base. The trees around the square were also lit up so was a joy to see.
Let me take you on a short stroll around the shops so that you can see the decor. Every shop has made an effort to decorate and lift our spirits. Each photo has a reflection but I think that adds to the charm.
The bookstore is another store that holds so much more than books so is always good for a trinket for the stocking.
The two windows above are from the charity shop, they are so well done and are a real delight to see. The tinsel adorning the bodyform making it into a party dress is amazing, with matching dazzling bags and shoes a real temptation on top of the gifts.
Not a big town centre but enough shops to buy the necessities. I did go to the supermarket and collect as much as I could in readiness for Christmas and as a treat we went to An Lanntair for breakfast.
I had the pancakes and Gerard had the traditional Scottish, it was very nice. It was also good to browse the shop and admire some of the local craftmanship.
Christmas will be different this year that goes without saying so it was nice to get out and about for a few hours. The bonus was we got some fresh air and supported local business's. A little bit of normality did us the world of good. It was so nice to finally feel a little festive.
What are you doing to introduce a little bit of festive cheer?
Take care and stay safe.
See you soon.
