Firstly, and most importantly, someone very beautiful and precious in our extended family-of-choice is undergoing a double mastectomy on wednesday. Please spare a thought. We lit a candle and sat in contemplation just now.

To be honest, it’s hard to know what else to say that doesn’t sound like frippery. So forgive us, just pictures today. To illustrate the beauty of light through sun, chandeliers, friendship, sharing strawberries and tea and conversation, lamplight, novel-reading-lightness by a fountain and soon, stars.

We have no words left.

Wishing you the safety of angels, both corporeal and ethereal, dear one.
