arrivederci

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu
Adieu, Adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu...


I'm off. I'm leaving. I'm going. I have a boat ride, an easyJet flight and a train journey that awaits me. All I can do now is sit back and remember some little memories of this glorious place...

sweet tooth

I do have a sweet tooth. It used to be a lot worse. For a while I would have a slice of chocolate cake for breakfast in the school holidays, meticulously sliding my fork through the icing, horizontally and then vertically like a garden rake through grass. I'm rather disappointed that as I grow older my tastes are yearning for savoury. Boo.

My mother is very talented in the kitchen. I have mentioned it before, and you will be hearing it again and again. I am very lucky to have had this all my life. She whipped up quite a few stunners for the family over Easter.

I like going home. Mostly for this reason.
