a fresh start... from peonies to parks

for too long now i've been carrying old thoughts around in this head

and not deposited them in the right way

i spend most of my days in the beauty world

and to be perfectly honest, blogging about it too is beginning to get to me

i love it, i enjoy it, it's a privilege to have such fun at work,

but the truth is, i write all i want to write at the day job

and of an eve, or early morn, i'd rather witter on about other things

that matter to me in very different ways

that simply tickle me

make me smile

catch my eye

so i sat down and thought about what i'd really like to read

i'm not trying to fill a niche (there are blogs about everything!)

simply attempting to be true to what i find interesting

and if i were to read a blog on a regular basis (i'm fickle, what can i tell ya?)

i'd be most likely to dip into one that changed as often as i do.

to this end, the new 'we make up' brings together some completely disparate passions

eating. reading. sleeping. walking. discovering.

when it comes to me, it'll come to you

and so, to my first departure... a stroll away from the vera wang launch (where i fell for the prettiest peonies) at london's latest hot hotel venture, the corinthia, reminded me of the pretty little garden where i used to take my pret lunches during my late teens

ping-pong tables, benches a-plenty, trees as pretty as i've ever seen...

if you get trapped between charing cross and embankment, make a pitstop

...it's just beautiful...
