VERY VERY VERY LIGHT SUMMER READING:
BERGDORF BLONDES by PLUM SYKES - Penguin/Viking - 2004
Dear plum,
I read your book in a day, it was "BEYOND" the perfect beach book - it's great - I was amused, entertained - bravissima - you got "it" in a nutshell!!!!
Should be compulsive research reading for Tom Wolfe and the "likes".
All the best and a BIG CIAO,
Nally

I LIKE LAVENDER:
- the color
- the smell
- the plant
- the perfume (ACQUA di PARMA is the best!)
- the incense
and hand made lavender soap

EASY SUMMER APERITIVO: Open a packet of Carasatu, Sardinian flat dry bread, peel and slice thin some bottarga, drain tuna and mix with cream cheese and capers...serve with cold Vernaccia white wine.

Even jpeg loves my food!
