Well, I’m finally getting over the jet lag. Sorry that I haven’t been very “vocal” online, but yes, I’m happy to be back. However, I managed to miss the snow that I was hoping for in Pennsylvania, by about a week! (Can’t wait to see those pics, Kathy!)
The weather has been pleasant. Still quite warm, sometimes hot, but in this house it’s nice and cool. Thick stone walls are a blessing in summer. We also have been making good use of of oscillating fans. Mmm.. very nice, especially with a cold ginger beer in hand.
The dogs are enjoying new toys from “Nanna”, and Gus and I have had one good walk so far… easing into the routine of things once more. Starting on job seeking, doing the grocery shopping with Cameron, and playing around on photoshop until I pick up the paintbrushes in my studio:

Cameron and I decided to celebrate Valentine’s Day the night before, just because we were in the mood to celebrate. We went out to an Italian restaurant, called “Sofia”, and had nice meals. I ordered the
small ravioli and got a serving so big that I took more than half of it home and that was enough for lunch today, and a snack later on.Then came the tiramisu.
It was bigger than my head. (Well just about.)
And sooo goooood that I’m going to be dreaming about it for a week.
After dinner, we stopped at the store where Cam bought me the most lovely red tulips!! They are gorgeous:

So, it’s been a lovely Valentine’s Day. I hope you are having a lovely one too!
Much love to all my family and friends, near and far. Love you and miss you!
Heard that you called the other day, Mumsy…we were out running errands.
Kaffy, I’m wearing my “love” socks! Love ‘em!
:-D
