Let them eat cake

What are your two favorite things to wear?

An easy DP@WP today.

It was my birthday a little while back, and I got two amazing wearables.

One from a couple, close friends, I’ve known forever and the other from a very generous and kind employer from overseas,moons ago.

Me n Patch had a summer break in Cornwall. Said friends had generously given us use of The Sheppy. One of their Airbnb’s, a Shepherds Hut. We had a great time and of course this year it was as hot as. One day, we were shopping before ‘ladies who lunch’, lol. I had eyed and coveted a lovely winter cardigan in a little shop. It was more than I could afford, so I walked away from it. Only for it to turn up on my day. Surprise? Oh yes!

The other gift and also a favourite for this DP. A very beautiful Pashmina from an employer I had parted ways with twenty years ago. She remembers me every birthday and Christmas. I’m not sure this lovely lady imagined I’d wear it every night and every single morning whilst writing before I get out of bed ( Patch willing).

Better than letting it wait for a special occasion – I’m awake and breathing, a cause to celebrate anyway, methinks.

  5. Wow, that pashmina part actually feels so right. It’s nice when something isn’t packed away for special moments and instead becomes part of your everyday comfort.

    It says a lot about the connection you had with her that she still remembers you after so many years.

    Loved going through these little snapshots of your life. It felt warm in a very unforced way.
