Our Battersea Store team are looking forward to Christmas. We asked Sophie, Hannah, Ruby and Laura what they have planned for their winter break.

See our UK team's Winter reading list

Sophie, UK Operations Manager

I’ll be spending my winter break... in the Cotswolds

I’ll be reading / watching / doing... I’ll be sitting by the fire and working on my embroidery skills

I’ll be eating / drinking... all of the pub food and mulled wine

The best thing about winter is... mulled wine!

Hannah, Battersea Store Manager

I’ll be spending my winter break... in London with friends (with fingers crossed for snow)

I’ll be reading / watching / doing... re-watching Gavin & Stacey

I’ll be eating / drinking... pub roasts on a Sunday with mulled wine

The best thing about winter is... wrapping up warm to check out the Christmas lights of London

Ruby, Assistant Store Manager

I’ll be spending my winter break... in my cozy London flat surrounded by festive decorations and lovely people I’ve met along the way

I’ll be reading / watching / doing ... getting the tube into the city most weekends to experience beauty of London at Christmas time

I’ll be eating / drinking... copious amounts of Gail’s baked goods, including their famous ham and cheese croissant (don’t knock till you try it)

The best thing about winter is... heading to a cosy pub with your mates and finding a spot by the fire place

Laura, Sales Assistant

I’ll be spending my winter break... in London – despite living here for 12 years I usually spend my holidays out of London, so I’m looking forward to an actual London Christmas this year!

I’ll be reading / watching / doing... watching Home Alone 2 on repeat and making minced pies

I’ll be eating / drinking... all the minced pies I’ve made and all the chocolate…..and mulled wine (totally agree with Sophie and Hannah on that one!)

The best thing about winter is... big coats and misty cold mornings
