Tarting the year with a tsunami of crazy scenarios ! Thanks for the joyful distraction’s Janelle. As someone once said “ we’re not in Kansas anymore” so hold on to your hats. Exciting events, also looking forward to the fist ever couture exhibit in the Louvre, starting now I believe until the end of June! 🤩 Time to make some plans. And good luck on your upcoming decisions.

That's a great quote -- "We're not in Kansas anymore!" I'm looking forward to the Louvre Couture exhibition too, Judith! A lot of nice things are happening this year, despite the politics of the world.

“We can all be happy-sad together “ ♥️ absolutely. It’s always lovely when someone else sees something disappearing and views it as a great shame. To look at each other and say “you see this too?” xxx

I wish I could get that bralette out of my mind but I can’t, it was an unusual inauguration to say the least and said bralette will probably be the lasting memory ! I’ve been rewatching Monty Dons history of British gardens through the centuries- it’s calming the mind. Lovely post as always Janelle 💜

Monty's shows are always a great distraction. I can't wait to watch the British Gardens series. Thank you for your lovely comment. I'm always touched to read everyone's notes.

I feel this year is getting better, in many respects, Lee -- certainly for me but also for friends. It's odd -- even though the dollar is plummeting and other things are happening, I feel quietly confident about a lot of things in my own life. Perhaps it's false confidence, but I'll take it anyway! Sending good wishes to you and Jean. Will email soon.

I’m googling as I missed so much outside the bralette. As always a wonderful read.

The 'bralette' was perhaps the highlight of the inauguration? She is a braver person than me to wear that to Washington DC! Hope London is lovely. Enjoy it all!
