An Internet date in London

Yes, that's right, on Wednesday, I had my first Internet date...and my hubby knew all about it...I met the lovely Laura from Happy Homemaker UK in London for a coffee and a gass bag  chat! It was the first time I've met a fellow blogger face to face and I was a little nervous...I had to look out for a lady with an American accent (how do you recognise an accent on sight??)...with orange pom poms on her bag....needless to say we found each other and had a lovely time.

Alas, no photos...we were so busy talking that I forgot to take one...however, after we left each other, I took off to Regent Street, to do some quick shopping and couldn't resist this pretty display outside of Liberty of London...

It was a riot of colour...tulips, amaryllis...

gorgeous roses..

daffs...

lots of bulbs in terracotta...I really got the impression that Spring is not all that far away...

Then of course, seeing I was in the neighbourhood, I had to pop up to Anthropologie...

and, like the rest of London, they are on sale...so...I found this dress, which I had looked at before Christmas and it was marked down and it actually fits...

You see...we have Paul's work Christmas party at the end of January...don't ask...and then another one in March, and if I can do something about my flabby white arms within the next two weeks, this frock should look o.k.

The Cloth House was next on my list, where I found this lovely linen...for some future project...I then 'hightailed' it out of London before I could be tempted further...

All in all, a lovely day...meeting a new friend and finding a bargain!!
