If you are alone at Christmas and within travelling time, The Alexandra pub in Wimbledon is the place to go. It’s been providing company and a free Christmas dinner to all comers for 10 years now. It is run by the best people. 📸 Look at this post on Facebook facebook.com

Ding Dong Daisy Dec 2023 9:30pm, 23 Dec 2023 39,374 posts	Quote Pin Ding Dong Daisy I'd ordered my turkey for collection between 8am and 9am at Waitrose this morning. I also had a short list of a few last minute things. I was there at 8am and despite the shop being really busy with people milling round I didn't have to queue at the checkout and was back home by 8 45. (Why don't people write a list? Makes it all so much quicker!) Have done a fair bit of prep today so I can get my two hour run done tomorrow morning as per The Plan
