granny is back!

my mum has returned from her jaunt around a little bit of europe. she and her husband john loved staying in montmatre and adored marseille. and she bought me this little bag of french sewing goodies... along with other treats.

i met up with her and my brother in london yesterday. we were treated to the most enormous steak and mushroom pie at the very traditional guinea grill http://www.theguinea.co.uk/. freddie joined his dad for a mountain of sushi and then we hopped across to pilmico to the tate gallery. a few majestic canvases to compare, a bit of modern art (current turner prize shortlisters at the moment) and then home.
