Sending you these pretty pink peonies to say ....
Have a happy May Day
We celebrated my husbands birthday last year at the Ritz in Paris, which was wonderful. We dined in the Grand Jardin, under the glass ceiling and in the shade of the linden trees.
The food was amazing, service impeccable as we had so many waiters looking after us.
The peonies and flower arrangements everywhere were gorgeous
This wooden case was filled with the most delectable chocolates
and because we could not eat anymore, took the yummy birthday cake back to the apartment we were staying in.
The Hotel was beautiful and if you have a chance to indulge for a visit, do it. Oh to be a Princess for the day, and that is what it felt like.
How can it be that we are into the month of May!
Hope you have a happy week
hugs

I hope that you all had a happy and relaxing day on Sunday
Thank you for coming to visit me and to new followers to my blog.
I had a wonderful day, sharing a meal, and spending the afternoon with my family ... that is such a special thing to do.
Flowers, cards and gifts were kindly given, so feel a very lucky Muma and have the best daughter and son.
We dined at Euro ( one of my favourite restaurants) out in the glorious sunshine. This is my dessert which almost looked too pretty to eat.
Kaffir Lime panna cotta with pink peppercorn meringue
and raspberry pearls and lychee sorbet. Yum!
People who love to eat are always the best people

As the countdown to Christmas starts, wishing you all a very happy week.
Happiness ~ A bouquet in a bucket of the sweetest pale pink peonies in my favourite colour.
Last weekend flew by so fast and before I knew it is Monday morning and a new week has begun.
Simple moments are the best like spending Sunday lunch with our children at a little Restaurant and is always great to have a catch up with family.
Most of Saturday, was spent in the garden tidying up and I am feeling this today as my body feels a little achy. DH water-blasted the outdoor table and chairs and when the weather improves they will get a coat of teak stain in anticipation for summer.
Down at the village was the sweetest family of Mrs Duck and her five little babies and they waited while I took the photo.
Here's to a wonderful week ahead
Life is good!
hugs
Carolyn
