BAUBLES & STEPHEN

Christmas has always been big in Stephen and Jake’s home. The baubles were a present from Jake to Stephen, bought in a vintage shop off Carnaby Street in London the year that they met. They’ve been together for nineteen years. The baubles remind Stephen of Christmas as a child, it was always a very grand affair. There were beautiful decorations festooning his grandparents’ manor house, there was a dining table as long as a runway with guests seated down both sides of it’s full length. It wasn’t until years later that he discovered that their stately home was actually a halls of residence, the banqueting guests were overseas students who couldn’t afford the flight home and his grandparents were the caretakers of the house.
