X'mas Spirit

ohhh.. first Friday late night shopping in the city for YONKS!! All of a sudden I just feel like I’m infused with happy x’mas energy…

there’s something about the festival that makes the mundane everyday stuff seemed bearable.. as if it totally refocuses one’s attention to what is really important in life.. family, friends, special ppl, spirit of giving, gratitude and love.

So I went a little snappy happy wif the cameras.. all the decorations are so beautiful, each a work of art itself! oh of course there's my model..

The London court is one of my favourite places in perth city.. I always feel like I’ve been transported back in time and over to Europe.. I miss being in Europe around x’mas.. although it’s not so much fun when everything’s shut.. but there’s always the pre-x’mas markets with home made apple strudel with piping hot custard served by a lovely german lady, the heart warming moult wine, farm made bread, swiss hot chocolate spiked with rum, massive bratwurst in a pan big enough for me to curl up in.. x’mas decorations, I miss strolling around the stalls in the light falling snow.. listening to carollers in costume n pig tails singing familiar tune in a different language.. everyone on the street nods and smile at strangers, wishing happy x’mas blessing to all sentient beings.. ahh.. the nostalgia

So the london court is close as I get to that and the delicious coffee smell from infusion is good enough for me.. this place is soooo cool, you get to choose what beans and they would grind it on the spot and turn it into pure JOY in a cup.. mmmm
