Friday Fabulousness....It's Good To Be Back!!

Fabulous....classy, classic, beautiful....and gorgeous hair....what more can a girl ask?!

Sometimes the best advice is the simplest advice....

Friday Squeeze...because he's Jack Bauer....oh, and because I love him....I might have mentioned that once or twice before ;)


....because sometimes a little kiss is all you need....

The gorgeous Gemma Ward....such a fabulous blue....LOVE this dress....


Lily Cole looking stunning....

Absolutely beautiful....

Jennifer Aniston has the most beautiful smile....

Gorgeous chandeliers....

I love this shot of Diane Kruger....

My Secret Husband....Dr McDreamy in Armani....

Autumn is definitely here in London....leaves on the pavements everywhere and the weather still mild....

Gorgeous....gorgeous....GORGEOUS!!!!


The perfect autumn table settings....

Snuggly socks....toast and jam....it's autumn for sure....

A few more blankets might be necessary this time of year but this would still be a beautiful spot to be.....

Finally I am back from a really fabulous trip to Italy....even better than in the summer....the autumn trees were more beautiful than I can ever describe and the scenery was breathtaking.....the food (and the coffee) was AMAZING....and the people kind, warm and just really special. There is something about the experience of being in another country that is so wonderfully enriching....more about my trip next week.
It's good to be back, I have missed my blog....and everyone else's too! I look forward to catching up and thank you to everyone who left me such lovely comments while I was away....HAPPY FRIDAY!!

It's been a lovely week in spite of lots of rain and the return of coughs and colds :)
We have 10 days school hols here and, amongst other things have....

been to the movies ("Despicable Me" - 7/10)
spent the day with my oldest friends and our 8 children 
went to a Halloween party and ate a lot of orange food
had our favourite uncle over to stay and shrieked a lot (their uncle/my brother!)
made our most successful banana cake ever (we are easily pleased!)
bought new shoes
bought new books & discovered "Swallows and Amazons" by Arthur Ransome
(it is a lovely thing when your child reads and loves something that you loved as a child too)
finally got a Buzz Lightyear costume

brushed up on our French for our trip to Paris this week-end!!!!

Yes, I am off to Paris again!
This time with my husband and our children, leaving London on the early Eurostar train on Saturday morning and arriving back late Monday night....very exciting!!
The journey door-to-door takes a little under 4 hours which is quite amazing - my son cannot wait to get on the high-speed train and go in the tunnel under the English Channel.
My husband is looking forward to the restaurants.
And my daughter is looking forward to the Eiffel Tower, seeing the pretty shops, her morning pain au raisin and a trip to Laduree. Or is that me?! She is her mother's daughter that's for sure :)

Next week it is Giveaway Week and I will have a wonderful giveaway for one lucky follower each day!!

Happy Week-end!!

Happy Halloween!!
