The best kind of Saturday:

• tea with our whiskery friend first thing;
• researching a trout fishing trip in Idaho (sadly, ungodly expensive);
• bridesmaid gathering - F's hair and make-up trial, delicious Sierra Leonian stew care of the miraculous Mother of the Bride (plus a take away box for B), admiring M's slipper and kaftan ensemble and R's son's incredible white brogues and meeting other lovely ladies-in-waiting;
• a swoop into double Heaven on Chamberlayne Road - Scarlet & Violet and Howie & Belle - emerging with an armful of floral delights and 2 drawers of Edwardian butterflies; and 
• hot footing it down the A21 to Hastings at dusk.

My bunch...

The flutterbies...
