Its been a while....

.....since the day I stepped from Miss-dom into Mrs-dom. I look back on the day with such happiness. It was the day I had hoped it would be and I am happy for it to remain as that one day, encapsulated in time. Our honeymoon however, well I long for that every day, to feel the warm Rio sun on my face, to be sipping that first (of many) raspberry caipharinas, to feel as special, as I did during that month. I look back at the pictures and realise that during those four fabulous weeks I was the happiest I have ever been - completely in love, completely at ease with the world (and myself) and having the biggest adventure. I guess its not such a crime to long for that.

Probably wasn't the wisest move to begin a blog in the days leading up to getting married....hello! I was just reading so many helpful, touching, funny bride blogs that I wanted to join in. Inevitably our wedding took over, then our South American odyssey, then getting head back into work after being away, then quickly finding the house we wanted to buy and forging ahead with that.

Anyway, I find myself once again scouring the blog world; lapping up intelligent female comment and wanting to particiapte.

Our very talented photographer Lyndsey Challis with a brief to take a perfectly lovely photograph and "well....umm...make it blurry and fuzzy with warm tones and make it look old and umm....you know". And she did. I love this picture. I feel uber-glam - which is definitely not my every day look.

Looking forward to seeing a preview of Driving Miss Daisy at The Wyndhams this weekend with my Ma. Its got Vanessa Redgrave in it and everything, I shall feel very cultured and grown up. Bear (the husband) will be off meanwhile at an offshoot of the Oktoberfest (in Hackney?!) attempting a stein or two. If the sun continues to shine I'm sure it'll be great weekend. And then the countdown begins to our trip to New York.......

Back to the over airconditioned office now......brrrrrrr.....
