From Surrey to London

So much to say, so little time.

I just wanted to say thank you all so much for your comments

about the crazy life we live in. The fact that you follow and read

along is more than words can say.

On that note, if you were a butterfly on my shoulder on Sunday...

We would have taken my family back to my favourite spot, 

Petersham Nurseries , for lunch in their lovely cafe. 

Fifteen minutes after I took this photo you could barely move.

I had the Organic Rose Petal Pannacotta with Comice Pears for dessert. 

It was just dreamy. I had to try it to see if it actually had

 rose petals in it...it did, so delicious and special.

Australian chef, Greg Malouf, is the visiting chef at the moment

and he is most definitely sprinkling his magic over each and every dish.

Mrs. H Sr...my mother-in-law, is visiting and loves to shop. 

We get along so well. :) We had a quick browse through

Petersham's garden shop on the way out.

Over the fields and through the woods to our car, 

we passed this spot along the way...

Someone lives there, I wonder who?

I find the sign posted out front, very inviting...
I don't think that was their intention. :)

The next day, good morning London..

We stopped in at The Victoria and Albert Museum 

for the 'Ballgowns- British Glamour Sine 1950' exhibit.

If you have a moment..watch the video clips for the show here.

I love a beautiful ballgown, don't you?

Up and down and around London ...to finish

with a fabulous play last night. Can't wait to tell you about it.

I need time to explain.

I will come back with more on that one... got to run.

I am off to London to meet a few blogging friends this morning... more on that too!

Best wishes for a lovely day...evening...morning...wherever you are!

PS...thanks also for reports in from around the globe on 
the postcards I mailed from Vietnam last month.
It took a month to reach you...but at long last, they are arriving!

If you would like to be added to my postcard list... I would love to add you in.
I never know when and where...but I promise to get one off to you!
