Yes, it’s that time of year again! John Lewis officially released its Christmas TV advert at 8am this morning. It’s a tad earlier than previous years by about a week.
This year’s festive treat is called “Unexpected Guest” and for many, this now signals the official beginning of the Christmas shopping period! 😳
According to JL PR department: “It’s the magical tale of 14-year-old Nathan, who discovers an unexpected guest and space traveller, Skye, has landed in the woods beside his home. As he introduces her to the season’s traditions, their friendship develops and we see the magic of Christmas through the eyes of someone experiencing it for the very first time”.
Name that Tune!
With a cover of Together in Electric Dreams by Lola Young, a Graduate from the Brit School (the original track, released in 1977, was sung by Phil Oakey!).
it looked, sounded and felt like a ‘return to form’ for JL with the “Ahh factor” dialled up 11!
In keeping with recent years, JL has launched a range of Christmas-themed bits and bobs with 10% of the revenue going to families in need. Nice touch!

I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s!
My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community.
But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure!
On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there’s no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
