Nevertheless, the place I now find myself is so lovely that I feel positively ungracious to have made the above statement. The forests and lakes of central Sweden have been exchanged for my friend Sara’s spectacular cliff-top hide away near Hastings overlooking the English Channel where I am spending the weekend. Here she is in a Philip Treacy creation which is almost identical to one of my MaliMali hats!
A cheerful 'pop!' in the kitchen preceded my host Richard's arrival with a glass of what he described as 'a teasing little Bergerac'. so, although I am suffering from nostalgie de Djenne,, things could clearly be worse.
