Just like sometimes I want to put on my 'posh shoes', sometimes I want to trawl through the cupboard and pull out the elegant china and mix and match it together in a tinkling clatter!
I am talking ever so rarely - school holidays, when I have the time to socialise with friends and do something special, but it feels so civilised and decadent and ceremonious. A touch of harmony and decorum and grace, which rarely intercepts our busy lives, dotted with take aways, plastic coffee and our perchance for eating whilst standing up at work, rather than embrace the alternative - that being, to starve.
Today we ate croissants with jam and more lascivious, lashings of butter. The marmalade jam above, is home made by my grandma.
