My daughter has been visiting Father Christmas at Harrods for years. Her first being the Wizard of Oz theme. I think this year was our best ever in terms of presents, how well thought through the whole thing was and how kind the staff on the day. I shared some images on my instagram and twitter accounts of the inside the actual grotto at the time. But here is Sheba opening her grotto gifts on Christmas Day last year. They were presented in a very practical green drawstring

My daughter Sheba announced last year that she wanted to learn to play polo. (I have never played, though my Grandpa did). One of the projects I have been working on ithroughout last year is documenting her progress both visually and in writing as she progresses. N.B. I may have spelled Perrotta wrong, I will check and update if needs be. Image copyright. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in hearing more with a view to publication.
