Few days late - but #December was an odd month for lots of reasons - but saw travel to #lasvegas for a big international trade show and then a short hop to #athens for the last visit of the year. Then a few parties for Xmas before stopping for a couple of weeks. Now back to the day job tomorrow!

Well that’s the last #hotelstay of 2023 done and the rest of the year will be spent in my own bed. I’ve not counted how many nights I’ve been in hotels this year (I don’t think I want to!) but at least with one chain I have had 70 nights as the app told me this morning!  It’s all part and parcel of the job but also it’s not easy at times either. 
My last stay this year was with #hotelindigo I do love an @hotelindigo hotel. On my blog and on here you can find many stays reviewed at #indigohotels across the world.
Last night was hotel indigo on #leicestersquare. I loved the theming and very apt for my last stay of the year to have all the #theatrical elements around. 
Now a bit of time to rest and recharge ready for 2024!

A busy few days in #lasvegas with work! The city really is like nowhere else on the planet with the wide range of #casinos #shows and #hotels to see. It’s such a mad place. Was a really good show for work with my companies product winning an award as well. A very lovely stay @virginhotelslv

Been quite a manic and busy #November! Trips to #lasvegas and #Germaany. Lit a show for @guildfordschoolofacting and had a busy time at work. @johannaspayne also fell in a tree. @max_theminiweenie just looked cute and we headed towards #xmas.

As we ended our #Route1 journey up the west coast of #usa we arrived in #seattle. It was defiantly one of our more favourite stops of the whole trip even if it was very cold! We spent a load of time up the @spaceneedle with a wonderful dinner on our last night. We also visited Seattle where there was a whole new level of the city created. On our way back to the airport we visited the @boeing museum which was very geeky!

It’s not been the busiest month for October with only a couple of days in Stockholm and then a stag do in London for a weekend, rest of the time has mostly been around home - which makes for a very nice change…. November and December will be very different!

Ted Baker Winter Coat

Ted Baker Winter Jacket

It's definitely getting colder, sadly the shorts and t-shirts have gone away for another year. The jumpers are certainly back out! I've been thinking about a new winter coat for a while. On our trip back from our stay at the Hotel Indigo Bath we stopped at Ted Baker Bicester village it provided a great opportunity to get a coat, at a great price.

I've been eyeing up and trying on a number of Ted Baker coats every time I been in the store. If you read my posts on here you'll know what a Ted Baker fan I am and I really loved some of the styling of the Ted Baker Winter Coats that they had on offer. Of all the ones in store this was my favourite. Classic but modern look. Nice and warm as well - key for a winter coat!

Ted Baker Winter Coat

The first wear

The jacket had its first outing at a recent event at Ely Cathedral. My father was being presented with an award for services to the local community (which I was really proud of) and the dress code was smart! Ely Cathedral being like most big churches isn't warm. This coat is lovely and warm so I thought a prime opportunity for me to give it it's first outing.

I paired the coat with the Ted Baker suit that I had purchased earlier in the year. The two outfits go great together and the coat really looks smart when paired with the suit.

What I like about the Ted Baker winter coat the most is that it is a jacket in it's own right. I know that sounds odd. Some coats are obviously coats but this one could be worn rather than a suit jacket. It's got a modern straight cut and a big collar - great for stopping some of the drafts in big churches!

Ted Baker Winter Coat Detail

Details

Some of the small details on the coat are just lovely. From the Ted Baker branding on the buttons, features around the cuffs and then of course the tale tale lining pattern. This is definitely one of the trade marks that I love about the items of clothing from their ranges. It's all those smaller details that set it up with that bit of quality.

Its not just though for smarter wear though. I've worn it out with jumper and jeans/trainers and it looks great here as well. So for sure it's going to get lots of use in the coming weeks and months.

Sadly though I don't think it's going to get much use out at work events, My one day trip to Germany looks as though that's my last trip this year as we've been told we are working from home for the rest of the year now.

Hopefully we'll be out of this next year and I'll be able to be back travelling... otherwise the travelling salesman website is going to need a rebrand!

Stay safe in these times!

Ben
