Bank holidays rock

In the style of one of my very favourite bloggers, loveaudrey I feel a lovely bank holiday weekend is best summed up in list form:

- cooking polenta for the first time. And not the last!
- strolling through Green Park - still lovely even amid the gathering storm clouds (and feeling smug for missing the rain!)
- sweet smelling freshly ironed bed sheets
- making peanut butter swirl chocolate brownies (courtesy of the Barefoot Contessa - someone I fell in culinary love with while living in the US)
- spending time with one of my oldest, best friends and her family - this includes 3 gorgeous children. Broody? Who, moi?
- too many G+Ts
- hoovering, washing, tidying - worth the hard work to finish the weekend with a lovely tidy home
- having three lie-ins. What a treat.
- dancing like an idiot on friday night and then..
- ...having my saturday hungover somewhat softened by being brought breakfast and a trashy newspaper in bed (Mr C really is a diamond)
- booking a trip to Paris for my birthday. How has it been 2 years since I last went to Paris!

  2. I am loving watching my friends children grow up and change and it does make me start to think. Perhaps in the not *too* distant future...
    Do you ♥ Laduree too? Oh Miss LA, I would love to bring you a macaron!

  3. Au soleil ou sous la pluie, a midi ou a minuit... Err, what was I saying? Paris is the best for birthdays (not that I had any of my birthdays in Paris, but well). Have lots of fun and share it with us afterwards! xxx
