Ma's Things

I was walking home last night when I saw something in the bushes opposite the Harry Potter Tree. It was pitch black and I could only see a black shape of what looked like a small thin dog. It was only a few meters away, so I stopped to look at it; it was looking back. I remember thinking to myself I hope it's not a wild dog who is gonna jump on me (I had just seen cute little rabbits!). Standing still, we stared at each other for a few seconds before it ran away. That's when I saw its white fluffy bottom and its gracious moves. It was a little bambi!! I knew Father Christmas had some connection with this place, maybe the next Rudolf is growing up here. It was magical, I had never seen a fawn before, a shame I didn't have my camera!

(la suite soon!)

Thank you!

A year ago Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was released, last and only time I got to go and get it at midnight. So many memories. The wait for the "Knight bus" in a perfect foggy gloomy Harry Potter evening, the dozens of witches and wizards all dressed up in town, the decorations in Waterstones, Hagrid and Snape at the till, the walk back home in the middle of the night under the misty streetlamps (which hadn't vanished), and the reading of the very first page back in bed.

There is nothing like l'huile Ambre Solaire to set the tone, one sniff of it, even on Christmas Day, would send you right on the beach.
Ah and obviously good music too, something like Chupee by Cocoon is just perfect for this time of the year!
