porridge - our Wednesday breakfast!
a long soak in the bath
going out for lunch wearing my new scarf
a warming bowl of soup with delicious bread
But there is another little story to tell ...... I was deciding which perfume to put on
Flower by Kenzo on the left, or Flower by Kenzo Oriental on the right (that's not as extravagant as it seems - the Oriental is almost finished!!). But putting the perfume on reminded me of when Malcolm first bought me Flower for my birthday. He had been working abroad for months on end, often coming home late on Friday night and leaving again on Sunday morning, so that year my birthday presents came from Marseilles Airport!! First there was the perfume, then .......
a set of lavender bags
a lovely bag of herbes de Provence
a beautiful pashmina .....
so, they may have been an odd collection of presents, but it must be five or six years since that birthday ..... and it's still my favourite perfume, I still use the lavender bags in the airing cupboard (they just need a squeeze now and then!), I still use the bag to keep herbs in (the original ones were used long ago) and I still wear the pashmina!!
