Sitting here with a glass of Mulled Wine and my Quiksilver catalogue- choosing clothes for Fall/winter09!!!! My Boyf is making my dinner (do hurry up love, ha, ha) and getting over the packed shopping centre where I successfully did all my Christmas shopping last minute! Well, ok, my brother did a lot of it last week, but all the other stuff I got today …and some! We took some pics of me and my brother which I got developed, and we are giving these to my nan and my great Aunt. I’m sporting a stripy number from the spring collection in the pics-my new favourite jumper. Thanks for the lovely surprise suitcase full of clothes Quiksilver. Ahhhhhh!!! Georgous silks and wools. So AMAZING!!
Spending Christmas day at my nan’s house in Hammersmith, by the River Thames. Love it there, all the childhood memories. She will be 80 next year! My brother will be cooking the Christmas meal, as always, the chef. The only thing is that my nana is insisting on frozen sprouts this year and my brother has turned his nose up and has brought some fresh ones. Hope they don’t have a row, ha ha. They have a big Turkey, but I will be sitting pretty with my Quorn sausages!! In the morning we will be at my partners house with his family and will have smoked salmon, scrambled eggs and champagne! Looks like lots of Wallace and Gromitt on the telly tomorrow and my mum and nan will be watching the coronation street special- the addicts!
On boxing day we will go to my dad and Pam’s -his partner and on Saturday and Sunday I was planning to go to the gym, but its shut, so I guess I will carry on eating mince pies and drinking wine! On Monday we are recording in west London, yeeharr!
Have a lovely Christmas with your family’s, or how ever you are spending the Christmas holiday. Hope you have a relaxing time and have lots of fun and yummy food!

Do you also get annoyed by the mood messages of your so-called friends on Facebook that for example just got out of the shower and are now about to use their raspberry body lotion or by the ones that just put two sugar cubes and some diet milk in their coffees? Seriously, why do those people think I could be interested in a single one of those details about their lives? Well correct, maybe because they are my friends on Facebook. And you are totally right if you advice me here to just get rid of them. But as much as their ‘mood messages’ annoy me sometimes, once in a while they can be just as delightful and inspirational…
.
Just recently, for instance, a true facebook acquaintance of mine (I maybe talked to that guy twice in real life, but thanks to Facebook, I now get daily updates about what time he eats breakfast…) had the following mood message: “I haven’t had to listen to ‘Last Christmas’ up until now and I hope this won’t change this year…” Not that this was too inspirational, but it made busy Ela at least have a halt for a second and think of the absolutely adorable time that was going to stop her from running through life soon: Christmas Holidays! And for this very second there on Facebook, I decided to ignore the fact that I hadn’t shopped a single Christmas gift for my beloved ones, but instead concentrated on the feeling which only the sheltered moments of Christmas Eves with your family can offer you… Believe me, it felt brilliant!
.
Well, I become a hopeless romantic when it comes down to Christmas. This includes not only traditional Christmas dishes (since I’m Swiss, its Raclette) but also huge golden gifts with enormous ribbons and of course an outfit that makes me eclipse all the shiny gift boxes…This year, I am convinced that I will steal the limelight from all of them with my Quiksilver Women’s Holiday Collection Marianne dress. Maybe to go with a golden Alice band including a glossy bow on the top to make the gift boxes fade even more?
.
Well, let’s stop it! The golden hairband is definitely too much of the Christmas romance for me as well. Either way, I think I’m going to listen to ‘Last Christmas’ these days soon… Call it corny! But hey, it will take another year till Christmas, right?
.
.
So let’s just be romantic and merry Christmas to all of you!

Hey everyone, I’m Anna and this is my first blog!
I’m a singer songwriter based in London- I am also at full time University studying for my music degree which is hard work but fun- continuing with my studies has been important to me.
So, what have I been up to? Well, I’ve just got back from a hard days work at the studio!! I’m writing a song with the very talented Peter Vetesse- and I was inspired after watching a film called Factory Girl- I don’t know if you’ve heard of it. Anyway the storyline is based on the life of Edie Sedgwick (Andy Warhol’s muse) and there’s a side storyline detailing the love affair between herself and Bob Dylan- then I found out that a lot of his songs are supposedly about her- and its fascinating me sooo much! I’m doing more and more research about it as we speak, and I can’t wait to put the story into a song- hopefully the one I’m writing at the moment! It’s got a gorgeous piano part- it sounds Christmassy!
I am so excited about Christmas- I went shopping with my best friend Marisa over the weekend- and have almost everyone covered now! =) Christmas is full of little family traditions in the Leddra-Chapman household – my little sister Beth is now 10 but is still full of the wonders of it all!
Happy Christmas everyone!
Anna xx
