Things of beauty...

You'll be pleased to know that the blues have lifted! Replaced by a slight, growing, warmer comfortable blush of pink! It's amazing how the mind works; absorbing and reasoning new things until they feel like they fit. I have been delighted to see the Boos settle back into the school routine in just a couple of days. My daughter especially, I realise, has grown up so much these last months and has blossomed in confidence and...how can I say...savvy? She just seems to 'get it' now, more than she did even at the start of the summer. How wonderful when life starts to make sense...

The new 'life choice' is bedding in! It's all OK...as you all said it would be. So to some things of beauty to appreciate this Friday...some British beauties, all chestnut-haired and peaches and cream complexions!
Have a great weekend...

Back to school this week for the Boos...back to the abc...homework, kit bags, pick-up and drop-off...and quieter moments drinking tea for me!

Nostalgia...in just one look...the 80's classic 'She's Having a Baby'; I would defy anyone not to cry in the scene where she has the baby and the Kate Bush song is playing...seriously.


Grace and elegance...




Blousy pink loveliness wrapped in brown paper and string...oh to be given a bouquet like this!

Cheryl Cole in October's British Vogue...looking stunning; she is the nation's darling. X Factor season has started here; compelling viewing for my entire household.




Our own Anna Friel in Vanity Fair...




Keira Knightley, whom my husband is convinced he saw on a flight back from New York. Well he said it was either Keira or Yasmin Le Bon...either way, she smiled at him :-) He said she turned left into first class and was wearing a very sharp grey suit and Louboutins - he clocked the red soles! I figured - would Keira really fly long haul in a suit? She seems more like a jeans girl to me...anyway...!


Thank you for your comments this week; you made it all seem way better...
