darlings
so exciting.
well.
*pauses*
actually.
yes.
it IS exciting.
we love meeting all these glorious new people with who-we-are-in-RL (some of them not-so-new-to-us but equally precious a meeting-of-minds-and-aesthetics) and writing about them.
yup.
*lookstocamera*
That’s why We Were In Calabasas the other day……
isn’t life delicious?
postscript: we went to a certain place for lunch today and sat at the same table where we wrote this piece previously (and *coughs* actually ordered exactly-the-same-thing) and the lovely waiter said:
are you familiar with our menu?
(note to europeans: they say that sort of thing in Los Angeles)
and we smiled (prettily) and said (demurely)
why, yes.
yes.
we were DYING to say –
actually we wrote a rather lovely piece about this place for Los Angeles, I’m Yours
but we decided against it.
so what we did say was:
a pot of tea (P G Tips is fine) with milk on the side please (cold, skim – you have to ask – Angelenos don’t really do hot tea) and the lovely salad with the green goddess dressing.
then we opened up a selection of poetry (thank you Los Angeles County Library Request Materials Service) and proceeded to dream of far-off places and Adventures.
Well, I don’t understand quite enough I fear but always love reading your pieces and remain your faithful cheerleader.
Bisous.
Dearest G
Do they really say that sort of thing…. before handing over the carte?
As though one was a intermittent house guest, who knew what cook was likely to be doing for lunch.
How quaint and at once quite lovely.
Yours ever
The Perfumed Dandy
it’s adorable.
sort of – yes – as if we’re all staying in a Grand Country House.
Indeed.
Though I would indubitably prefer Brideshead to Downton!
ah yes. spent a lovely weekend (nearby, in the village) and spent HOURS in the house back in *thinksback* 1999……#bliss
Sounds divine. X
SO interesting. I may not be biking my way to Calabasas, but I’m putting a visit to Pedaler’s Fork on my calendar. XXXXX
go early – then you can admire the boys-on-bicycles
later on it’s full of families and hordes.
*shudders*
I can only repeat “It IS exciting”.
It is so delicious that you understand Truly!
