Today I spent 10 minutes lurking around the Christmas tree in the QVB building (which I shall no doubt blip at some point because it has a glowing white trunk and if there is anything with a bright light within a 100 mile radius you can bet I'll find my way there sooner or later).

Every child that passes the tree feels the urge to go and stroke the trunk or else shrilly demand that their parent/s lift them up so they can touch the branches.

This little girl was adorable. Although I think she did her dad's back in after a bit.
