The Gloomiest Day

Today was meant to be the gloomiest day of the year. I did get stuck on the tube for half an hour this morning, and the rain fell and fell. But tonight I went for dinner with Mum and Dad to Ottolenghi (delicious, as ever) and afterwards Mum presented me with some snowdrops that she had brought down from Norfolk, carefully swaddled in damp kitchen roll. Gloom? What gloom?

Hope you have all found something to cheer you today, even if just a little bit.

  2. very pretty, Becky. I so love snowdrops. Also, I chafe at the notion that we should all decide it's the most depressing day of the year because of an ad campaign.:)

    Really lovely pictures, above.

  4. What a fabulous Mum for bringing such gorgeous gifts! We all need something to brighten the gloom at the moment, although the sun is shining here today so I hope it is with you too.
