Earlier this month I went to New Covent Garden in London, the wholesaler's flower and plant market. Every December I buy my ribbons, wrapping paper and any last minute basic Christmas bits that inspire. We load up the car (always bursting) with these goodies, Christmas presents and any other of my holiday essentials I can't find in France and drive to the farm in St Remy.
I love this commute by car, the luxury of walking out the door, not worrying about the size of suitcases and the carry on requirements at the airport. The drive takes about twelve hours - sometimes we stay overnight on the way and sometimes not. The best part is when we reach Lyon and I know that in two and a half hours we will turn into our driveway and be home.
Love that feeling of coming home; for me, that is a big part of what Christmas is all about.
