Dear Elena
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will forgive the dearth of comments from my end this summer - its been a tricky one - but I hope to be back in the swing of things soon! I have been reading when I can though and this caught my eye - how very sweet of you! I do not find London as much fun to live in as I used to. Probably getting old but I am very excited at the prospect of the Olympics the main centre of which will be a couple of miles down the road from me in 2012 :-) Hope you're well. Nicola
Dear Nicola,
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you commented and you're well! I have missed your erudite and wonderful style of writing and your succinct points.
You're lucky and I feel that I will be looking forward to the London Olympics. (lucky you!)
Somehow I find those images very sweet and curiously nostalgic.
Oh and do mail me if you want to talk further. :-)
