Goa was as wonderful as always, early morning yoga, long walks along the seashore, haggling over silk dresses and ethnic tat in colourful street markets, catching up with old friends over chai, tropical sunsets with an ice cold Kingfisher....the heady smells of incense, spices, cow dung and wood smoke blended with the sounds of Bollywood filmi music and vintage Hendrix riffs...perfection.
The day we jetted off I was invited by the lady who runs the local Methodist church jumble sale to come and have a sneak preview before the official sale. I picked up this darling 1970's maxi for a princely 40p, heck that's cheap even by Indian standards.
The fabulous colours set my turquoise jewellery off rather splendidly.
Thanks for sticking around and big love to you all....there's major heartache in my life right now and I'm hoping blogging and your virtual friendship will help keep me sane over the next few months.

ReplyDeleteGoa sounds amazing, i've missed your lovely blog. I'm sorry to hear things aren't good at the moment.
ReplyDeleteIn answer to your comment things have changed a bit in the last few weeks. If you hadn't guessed i'm pregnant, 10 weeks now, it was a surprise but i'm pretty excited now its sunk in xx
I am so very happy that you are back; blogosphere was missing one of its most mesmerizing butterflies while you were away!
ReplyDeleteI’m sad to hear that you have returned to face major heartache, sadly life sometimes has a rather despicable way of giving happiness with one hand only to snatch it away with the other.
I sincerely hope that you will find the inner strength to cope & remain positive.
Even if I’m only a face on your screen & you know me only by the words & pics I submit in to the blogosphere, I want you to know that there is nothing virtual about my heartfelt well wishes.
…xXx
As usual, you've found a great color and style to wear. You WERE missed and now you are supported by well-wishes and sincere prayers for "sanity" during your difficult circumstances.
ReplyDeleteyou look soooo tanned ! welcome back.
