Ta liste est parfaite. Ah si je pouvais venir faire mes courses de Noel à Londres…

J’adore la pochette drapeau avec la rose et les boutons… Très chic !
A moi aussi, Marks & Spencer manque beaucoup (celui des Grands Magasins, bd Haussman !) C’était un passage obligé pour les cadeaux de Noël et beaucoup d’autres choses : plats indiens tous préparés, lingerie, pulls, shortbreads…
Snif ! -
