    🫖☕ what a great idea for a hen party, tea and cakes with good friends and then beautiful books, discounted as if Waterstones heard about your situation and knew you were coming. Just gorgeous, as were the shots of a London park in spring, and those glamorous white buildings... I love the videos you make that show the places you frequent or those that are important to you. Really happy with the videos you're making. I always stay right to the end... what's a book without it's ending, keep logging the next chapter🏺

    ☕🫖☕ I was given some Fortnum and Mason tea awhile ago. I like the Afternoon Blend, it's a really lovely tea. I'm sitting down with a cup of tea and carrot cake right now. It's my birthday today and I spent it in the bush/forest (Australia). Day in the bush, night in the books. Now for some quiet cosy reading. I'm re-reading all of Virginia Woolf's novels in chronological order. I'm currently on To The Lighthouse. Glad you had such a good Hen party.

    This is actually my all time favourite thing to do in London - go to Piccadilly and go to Hatchards and browse books and buy some of course and then go next door to Fortnums and have scrumptious Afternoon Tea and read my books - pure heaven.
