“Girl Day” London Version
Ever since Roxi was a little girl, she and I indulged in what I called “Girl Days”. Basically, they are mother-daughter dates that usually include a girly lunch, a bit of shopping, and maybe a visit to a museum or a movie. Here’s our London version yesterday afternoon: First a little lunch. We ate Café de Hong [...]
La "Meme" chose
Okay, bad pun. But thanks to Barrie, you have something else to read about today instead of the post I planned to write: an extended lament for my poor postman who still was delivering mail at 5:30 last night. He said that he could barely see–the streets are very dark out here in the boonies. [...]
Green Chili and Pork
I am feeling tired and quiet today. I had a cup of Earl Gray a bit too late yesterday and ended up staying up past midnight. But I managed to get to the grocery and other little shops on High Street this morning. Got Roxi a new pair of school shoes–they have to wear dress [...]
Museums of The Hague
I love museums in Europe. I like how the guards don’t scowl at you. I like how you can bring in your journal or art pad and art supplies and no one has a conniption. One thing really great about London in particular is that most of the big museums are free. Sure, you might [...]

Three things I can’t live without*

Settling in
A lovely bloom in the Valley Gardens, England. I think we’ve reached the point in our time here. That would be the sweet spot where we, or at least I, feel like we’ve settled in. The house is relatively put together. I have one armoire and two bookcases (coming on Thursday) to put together and [...]
Walk This Way
One of the many street artists along the Thames, London. We’ve done a lot of wandering around the last couple of days. The weather has been so nice (well, except for the 30+ mph winds) that we just had to get out and do something. Thursday, Roxi and I walked to Covent Gardens Market. It [...]
