Dance Me To The End Of Time

Here's a good window display at our local branch of Zara.

The window frame is also interesting, as its a art Nouveau design.

I've shown this building a few times now, as it was one of Boots' first stores in the city.

It's quite a simple, but effective display.

Having Your Cake And Eating It

A new cake shop called Patisserie Valerie has just opened in the city centre. It's got an art neoveau look to it as the firm has been around since 1926.

It's not one that I've heard of before, but their cakes look delicious, if somewhat expensive.

According to their website, the company actually started in London, not say in Paris from the logo and style of the shop. I didn't pop in, just looked through the window. Maybe I'll go in and treat myself and Gail to one of their luscious cakes, and it will give me a chance to snap a couple of pictures.

I was going to use this photo for Wednesday's Headbanger Challenge, but have now found something better. So go on, imagine how tasty one of those cakes is going to be.

Snow Can Do

There was fun and chaos across the UK yesterday, when heavy falls of snow hit the country for the second time this year. Nottingham seemed to escape again, as we only had a light dusting & it had all but disappeared by about 10am. So alas no photos of a white Robin Hood. Instead here's a photo of an art nouveau gate in the Lace Market. A shame the top of the gate has been boarded up. But I suppose it was done to deter vandals and thieves.
