My preference, when looking for somewhere to sit in a coffee shop, is a seat by a window. That way I can watch the world go by. But, now that the festive season is upon us that rule does not apply. Why? Because the windows have become sites for Christmas advertising - loaded drinks and calorie-packed pastries are urged upon us and the outside world becomes somewhere only glimpsed beyond the notices. The bottles and glasses were by a small window sill where the adverts wouldn't fit and offered a modest still life.
