How about a Christmas starting with a Christmas Eve Carol service or midnight service if you have transport and can lie in. Buy a stocking now and in the 29 days left (sorry to mention it) buy a little something every day and wrap it for yourself and put it in the stocking( a magazine you wouldn't normally buy,an unusual chocolate,a miniature liqueur,a glittery eyeshadow,nail varnish a cd or DVD out of your usual comfort range) if you wrap and put in the stocking and pretend it's for your best friend(you) and you will have saved money by not going away then you can splash a little. Think out of the box as they say for lunch on your own,fillet steak for one as you're not buying a turkey and perhaps a retro prawn cocktail, followed by a Heston Bloomington small pud. Dress up or down as suits you. Invite people round for Boxing Day drinks/ coffee as your house will be lovely and tidy and they will be glad to get out of their house. Someone earlier suggested the op went out and got a man . Not sure after a divorce that is the solution but I read in the Times this morning about something called Stitch which is described as Tinder for seniors. This is off the top of my head wondering what I would do. But I'd probably sew all day
To think that London, or anywhere else for that matter, does not belong to any one demographic
