Nick gave me this wisteria plant for my birthday a couple of years ago. This year, it was in full, fragrant bloom.
One of my many thoughtful gifts from Nick. I admired this drawing in the window of an antique shop in Eton around Christmastime, and Nick bought it and kept it a secret for five months.
We went to this charming village on my birthday to visit the farmers' market.
Another of my gifts: the Spartacus travel guide
A friend made this impressive jelly mould for our gourmet evening

This charming windchime was part of the exhibition entitled Sex and Society in Ancient Greece and Rome
Also part of the exhibit, The Warren Cup shows explicit scenes of homosexual rumpy-pumpy. Note the onlooker peeking in the side door...
The cup has only just been deemed acceptable to show to the public. Warren is also the collector who commissioned Rodin's The Kiss.
We've spotted these
Space Invaders before.
These men were all queueing

We had a drink in the Arts café before the matinee.
I bought new glasses for my birthday treat.
We were thrilled to see Avenue Q.
Meeting the stars. Here is Simon Lipkin, my favourite.
Simon played Nicky, Trekkie "Porn" Monster, and Bear
Doesn't he look like Colin Farrell?
Jon Robyns had a lot to do during the show.
He played Princeton and Rod
Julie Atherton played Kate Monster and Lucy the Slut
All the autographs. Nice to have "lots of love" from Simon...
Amazingly, we also met Daniel Evans, who had just finished a performance of Sunday in the Park With George next door.

There was no information about the artist.
I've lived in England all this time and only just visited Portobello Road today! I'll certainly be back for Christmas shopping!
Comic lunchboxes.
These cupcakes looked pretty, but no where nice as mine, and they charge more than I do!

I liked the juxtaposition of this shot.

Cute.
I'll never take my job for granted!
