and not at a certain reflection...

    How cute are those chairs for card club!! They don't look very comfy, but how comfy do you need to be while playing bridge?

    Gorgeous chairs! Each one would be a great conversation piece and I think men would be the ones to gravitate towards them.

    The heart chair is my favorite, but I'd love to have the entire set. Did you check the prices?

    I love these chairs!

    The couple looking out of the window in Montmartre and waving are a Greek couple. I think that it's actually a likeness of them. It just took my breath away.

    Happy New Year, Saz.

Loneliness...

Though particularly because I had time to suit myself, time away from pressure of work, time away from the kids, all types of timetables. Time away from decision making, which I abhor with a passion!
