I missed this at the time, and I love the Dufy! Years ago (2012) I stayed with someone in San Anselmo, her landlady (who had owned the Haight Ashbury bookshop) had stuffed the house with Art, amongst which going up the stairs was a Dufy! What a story that whole episode was…

I so enjoy the way you find a different perspective on things we are all thinking about - plan to adopt your Fluctuat immediately as run a literary festival by the sea and the last few years have been choppy. We would love you to come and do an event but its long way from Norfolk!

Marvelous painting and your description adds to the beauty. For me seeing Paris as host has been great. I have been visiting since I was 16 and it never gets old.

Wonderful! I wrote my Durham history undergraduate dissertation on Poiret and the death of the corset 20+ years ago!! He’s often overlooked in favour of Worth/ Chanel. Maybe I should publish 😂

I so enjoy these art history lessons with you! I love going down the rabbit holes of 'look ups' you encourage us to take! There's such joy in reading you - ''It sings with gladness"! So do I because I have the privilege of being part of this community. Thank you.

Seriously good menu. And uninhibited colour. Invigorating for a Sunday morning. Rolling up sleeves to make sables to take with to lunch party. Hey ho, have a lovely “hols”!

The lunch party is going to love you. Such a good menu, isn't it? Perfection (minus the foie gras for 2024). Thank you re 'hols' - enjoy yours too.
