.... is time spent with treasured friends.
Ms N, is one of my oldest and dearest friends. She is beautiful and strong in so many more ways than she will ever give herself credit for (and right now, probably hugely embarrassed that I just wrote that).
'Outings' have become a regular feature of time spent together and today we got to nose around Kingston Lacy. I'll leave you to do your own research on the house, just know that it is worth visit and a walk around the lovely gardens.
If you do go, look out for this rather dapper young chap - who wouldn't want to accessorise with their very own feathered bow tie (see, it's the feather thing again).
Anyway, friendship is a funny thing isn't it. Today, after knowing Ms N for 22 years (eek) I discovered that we both have a dislike of cherubs. Who says that friends can't still surprise you.
I don't know where our next outing will take us and what we will learn but I can't wait. Thank you Ms N, you're the best!
