Blue Monday is a completely made-up phenomenon, apparently signifying the most depressing day of the year. It’s celebrated on the third Monday after New Year, when you’ve been without a pay cheque for weeks on end, and the afterglow of the festive period has completely worn off.

Fabrique is a Swedish-inspired bakery that has a couple of locations in London, and luckily (or unfortunately depending on how you look at it), has a location based right next to my office!

Recently, we had a visit from Theatre of Flowers to give us a masterclass in creating Christmas wreaths! I’ve never made a wreath before, and I was really excited to understand how they worked and to build my own!
