My passions……when I started to think about them they were all centered around food!!
sharing a coffee with a friend or darling husband in a really cool cafe
searching out that really cool cafe
travelling, be it local or overseas
researching interesting places to eat while on our travels
a bowl of Maggie Bear’s burnt fig and butterscotch icecream ( trying to limit that passion!). Maggie is an Australian foodie and culinaire extraordinaire
creating fun table settings
I could go on……
Do love the flower arrangement in the urn……and enjoyed the video you sent Jane Uno
La Contessa says
