So lovely

Dear Ella,

Lots of lovely Ella memories this weekend.

Firstly from when you were very small - like baby size and a toddler. Caught up with Mandy over a glass or two of wine - sitting in the bar at the Tate Modern overlooking the Thames and the City (you would have approved big time of the venue).  We remembered meeting when we were both pregnant and waddling with you and Max in our respective tummies, and then the agonising first months of motherhood (Mandy so much better than me I think). Hysterical and anxious at every twist and turn of being in charge of a tiny baby - terrifying.

Then on FB today - Annie shared this message you set her back in 2008.  I could almost hear your voice… pizzas and one of your favourite DVD's.

Lots of love

ha ha,
I have just finished all of my art, and ended it with a very tackey quote, which you will DEFINANTLY hate me for:
"Art is not what you see, but what you makes others see" By Edgar Degas
ha ha love it

p.s - I orderd you a margeretia pizza, and wanna watch blades of glory?

3BT's

Dear Ella,

Still trying to remember our 3BT's philosophy most days.  Today off to a  great start.  Awake early with a busy brain and could see the sunshine peeping round the edge of the blinds in my bedroom.

1.  Out of bed (cautiously - watch that left knee and hip), running kit on and off out for a gentle three miles around harbour side  Peaceful, sunny and spacious  So good for the heart, soul and mind.

2.  Love a duck as you know.  Very nearly stopped in my tracks - three beautiful ducks settled and gently quacking outside the Arnolfini.

3.  Home - bits and pieces in the kitchen reminding me of a lovely late supper last night with Maya - so much energy and vitality (Maya not me).  You used to say "you'd really like Maya Mum, she's just your kind of person".  You were right - just my kind of person.

Missing you so much

Lots of love

No drumming

Dear Ella

"No drumming at night"!

Only finally gone and done it - have booked tickets to go to a festival. WOMAD - so maybe a bit tame by your standards, but the tickets have arrived with a list of rules and regulations including no drummingat night.  So I wont.

Lots of love
