Rose Champagne, smoked salmon & scrambled eggs on freshly baked, toasted bread - is there any better breakfast start to a Christmas morning?

Thanks to Ponni Arumugam & Lada Luks for making one of the best Christmas Eve's so far. Fortnum & Masons, fabulous champagne, food & company

Only way to get Christmas Food. Sit at bar in Harvey Nichol's drinking champagne & have your greengrocer, butcher,fishmonger bring it to you

Wishing everybody an amazing Christmas from London (where Christmas was invented - Dickens' A Christmas Carol to Sir Henry Coles' 1st Card:)

Great catching up with Charles Wahab at The Albion (http://tinyurl.com/cuw4j5). Entertained by barmaid's disdain of customers in fancy dress

Bratwurst, Gluhwein, Churros & Chocolate, all at the German Christmas market on the Southbank. Beautifully lit, London shines at Christmas!

Hard as local councils try to tell me things can't be done - proving to them all that they can - few more wins like today - king of councils

Driving with roof down in the sunshine, breakast at Smiths of Smithfields and Christmas drinks with friend David - is this really December?

Now root canal. Dentist has bath & shower in his toilet, which concerns me how long this is going to take. Though it could be just Harley St

Car has been kidnapped by Camden Council. Trying Blackmail, £1,000 to get it back. Not my fault - allegedly have to claim it back - RIGHT!

Returning to London today. Weather permitting. Going to miss the crew I've been working with, especially Wanda Zaleski who's been invaluable

Finally, finishing touches on trailer for Inside Watch Docs: The Film Makers Journey, then our final dinner in Warsaw - film lovers paradise

12 days, 6 films, 16 interviews, 14 hours of footage a production team of new comers and a finished product everybody should be proud of :)
