I know.. you're expecting whiskers on kittens etc etc and although they're cute, they're not our favourite things!
Our favourite things are: freshly picked, home grown asparagus, shrimps of all sizes, a great pizza made without tomatoes, the scent of Joro, one of her favourite roses, freesias, lily of the valley, our almost pure white peonies, name unknown, dark blue and white hyacinths, a heated bed on cold frosty nights, warm towels, much beloved friends, dark, almost pure, chocolate.
Books, her jewellery, some of which is not valuable but has enormous sentimental value, the small Flame oil painting, painted by Hugo in 1955, the four panelled Japanese screen given to her by Giles Shepherd, MD of the Savoy Hotel, for completing the fitting out of the Savoy Hotel Fitness Gallery a month ahead of schedule and 20% under budget!
Me and her, a call from a friend who just wants to say "hello", a postcard which arrives out of the blue, pork loin chops, duck breasts, bavette steak, beetroot juice, a couple of places from times gone by, a couple of pieces of art in museums. A battered frying pan and an old ladle made out of stainless steel and brass by David Marshall.
You see we have lots of favourite things. Too many to mention really. But tomorrow, when she comes back from the allotments with, she hopes, lots of asparagus, I will give you one of our favourite and easy recipes which she makes many times in the months of May and June, our asparagus season.
She worked at the shop today.. it was quiet. All the shops are saying it is quiet, not just our shops but other shops in South and Central Kensington are all saying the same thing. Grotty weather doesn't help either!
That rain I was so pleased to talk about last Thursday, well, it rained ALL day and far into the night! Hackney Central was very wet indeed. But she found a small 'greasy spoon' Vietnamese place which produced the most delicious lunch and we'll give you its' name and address tomorrow when she's back from the allotments.
Now we're off to play on her bed with grapes and nuts, as you do, if you're a small grey person with a red bum whose got a 'silly' mum!
