Today I woke very early - 4am; I found it hard to get back to sleep, but once I did, I found it hard to wake up! I took advantage of the quiet and slept in while Rob and James (who is already on holidays) did the school run with Angus and took Molly on her long morning walk.
I was up in time to greet Deb and Lizzie who came over for a cream tea with Robbie's delicious fresh scones, yum! It was so nice to catch up with them both and to get an update on what's happening in their worlds. Lizzie came laden with more beautiful gifts - this time a gorgeous shower bag from
Utopia Goods. I've never seen the brand before but am loving the Australian motifs and wonderful linen fabrics.
I was wearing Lizzie's infinity peal earrings today (Day 118) as well as a bangle that I bought in 2011 with Deb in the Marais district in Paris at a fabulous Spanish shop called
Uno de 50 When I wear it I always think of the fun time Deb and I had there, when we were staying with Fiona and Georgie, with Lizzie just around the corner near Republique and Trevor and Lye across the Seine in St Germain des Pres. We agreed today we need to go back for another visit - soon!
Jamie and I enjoyed another afternoon stroll in the park which was bathed in the glow of a beautiful winter light. James is on cooking duty tonight - dumplings in broth - which look delicious. The sunshine, a drug free day, good friends and food made for a happy day.
