you know i looove fridays...especially *this* one with my folks arriving from oz...
but i also looove tuesdays, thanks to my gorgeous friend amy...
she hosts a *hell of a morning tea*...
&
i know she's always up for a glass of vino or two on *special* days like ...*ten on ten*...
so i'm going to assume she's ok with me turning up a little late with a bottle of gorgeous NZ white under my arm...


so...if we were really catching up for coffee...errr a glass of that lovely white together today tonight...
i would firstly pour you a big one...
we have a lot to talk about...& it's a tuesday...!
i would ask if your kiddos have written a *dear santa* letter yet...
i would love to ask for a little wee invite to see your christmas decorations box...
the one that if you are an american friend...would still be under the stairs 'till this weekend....
{happy thanksgiving to you & your families...x}
i would put you in my big lovely *favourite & best* pink chair...
{as i do every week for coffee}
because you could see my fire from there...
well actually not my fire exactly...but my big gals fire...
ella makes a *ripper* fire...
she's the girl you need on a camp-out...!
australian...fearless...gorgeous...& she lights a cracking fire...!


then i would tell you that i need to visit our village optometrist...!
i love the concept of very cool gorgeous smart looking chic glasses...
but really, the reality is i'd rather another pair of boots...preferably fur-lined as we are looking at 1 degrees for the remainder of the week...
{just pouring you another lovely glass of NZ...}
...where was i?...
oh yes the glasses thing....
anyway i'll get there when my mum arrives...
doesn't matter how old you are...for some reason there are some things {like optometrist appointments} 
where the *wise words* of your mother are needed to snap you into action...
then i would show you the beautiful photos i managed to frame...
proving that i don't need glasses nearly as much as i need more warm boots...




i would also tell you that i've ordered our big ol'organic english turkey today...
last  year i was in hospital with a pretty bloody awful *felt-like-i-was-dying* case of pneumonnia...
&
ordered our turkey fairly late....needless to say...we haven't eaten turkey since this time last year....!
now gorgeous hubster, dad & mum...if you are reading this...
i have us a lovely smaller *8 people* turkey...
so let's just skip boxing day turkey smoothies this year...


if we were really meeting for coffee a glass of wine at mine...i'd show you that i picked up a copy of  english *country living* for december today...
{what happened to my subscription copy i wonder...??}
heaven.heaven.heaven
what is it about magazines at this time of year...?
they can almost do no wrong...!
& as we sipped our wines i would tell you about an *inspirational, on-line, mag* i have found...
& we would check out the gorgeous *gifted* magazine on my laptop...
whilst sitting in front of ella's fire...


& before i popped you in a cab
{as i absolutely do not encourage drink driving from my house}
i would propose a little toast to the gorgeous 
kate middleton & her prince...william
who rang & asked *would we mind if they married on our littlest audrey's 6th birthday*
they are sooo considerate
&
audrey is always happy to share her birthday with a royal event
so we said we'd be delighted!
we can't make it to the official *do*
as our kids ALWAYS come first
but we will be celebrating with a royal theme
&
audrey will be our princess on the day


so if we'd really just had two gorgeous hours together over a wine or two
i think we'd have covered almost everything till next tuesdays *catch-up*
&
i'd send you on your way with a special invite 
*back to ours on april 29, 2011*
no pressure
just a little royal birthday loveliness to consider
~~~


here's your cab
see you next tuesday
a little earlier
&
with tea!
xox
