This is what I love...


It is days like today when I feel completely fortunate that after my divorce I was able to come home.
By home, I mean London.
It is an incredible city, not least because it is one of the greenest cities in Europe.
And today, this afternoon, a damp afternoon, we donned our wellies and went for a walk.  Splashing through the puddles with my dear friend and her two gorgeously rambunctious boys, made me so glad to have all that London has to offer on my door step.
I am so looking forward to the warmer months, where I can spontaneously stop in Regents Park for an early evening stroll through the rose garden.
If anyone is pondering the possibility of visiting London, then I say Yes! and enjoy every minute of it.
But bring an umbrella!

Not really in the spirit...

I was all prepared to be full of the joys of spring and Easter, but that was not to be.
My poor child fell into the biggest muddy puddle yesterday and was soaked from head to foot.
She managed to catch a chill and went to bed with a temperature, which she still had this morning.
She is now on the couch having a duvet day, while I frantically pack for our trip tomorrow.
Actually, not so frantic as I've obviously taken time out to type a post.
She stayed with her Grandma on Friday night and decorated some eggs.
And yesterday, she helped a friend create an Easter 'tree' from some budding branches from the garden.
And that is what I am sharing with you today.
