And all the trimmings

A story about memories, , , .

Written on le Saturday 05 January 2013.

I’ve been trapped into a world made of stainless-steel and ovens going off. A happy – and at times, not so – merry-go-round of services, and gin and tonics. Of course there was an occasional bloody mary too.

And really, I hadn’t realised how long I’d gone for. Not unlike when Sookie spends a day in the land of fairies, only to realise years have gone by in her world.

Yes it’s been too long. So long in fact, that I don’t know where to start. But before I tell you about that apple cake we ate in one day, and that kiss he gave me by a home-alone Christmas tree, and all the trimmings that made 2012 pretty exciting, I’m going to show you a picture.

bonnes fetes

It was the day before Christmas. And really if it wasn’t for the ice made of lightbulbs that rimmed the houses, I’d have thought we were in early autumn.

No crisp winds. No snow under our feets.

But there was a fireplace and the stories we were told. And a capon bigger than our cat (a rare occurrence I must admit). And most importantly, the people I’m madly in love with.

I hope you had a lovely Christmas. I’ll talk to you very very very soon. x

    Fanny, I share your same feelings about this Christmas. It has been my first spent in London, working. Maybe it was because of the weather, of because of the distance from my family, of because it wasn’t holiday time for me, it didn’t really felt like Christmas. But yes, it went quickly too. I haven’t had the chance to come by John Salt yet but it’s totally in my 2013 resolutions. Sooner rather than later. Hugs x
