Mind the (Baby)Gap; the new limited edition children’s collection for the store is themed around Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit. With not a hint of Watership Down in sight, it is unsurprisingly sweet – think pastels, knitted tops with bunny ears, printed babygros and animal hats.

1) That all-important first meeting with Santa. Eliza was fine, didn’t cry, and was only moderately interested in his beard. It must have gone well, as Christmas came slightly early in the shape of 2) her first present, a beautiful wooden pram that someone took her first non-furniture steps with. It currently houses lots of…
