Namaste!
We're back from the land of spices.
We're back from the land of spices.
India was as fabulous as always. We basked on tropical beaches, visited temples and markets, filled our faces with exotic fruit & fiery South Indian veg curries and drank & danced under starry skies.
In between tidying up a storm-lashed garden, dealing with a month's load of mail and tackling a seemingly endless heap of washing I've squeezed in a few hours of blog reading but my brain's been too addled with jet lag to leave any coherent comments.
I'll do my best to pop by and say hello in the next couple of days.

Welcome home Vix :)
ReplyDeleteThe weather here has been pants, so I'm not surprised your garden has taken a beating.
You are looking every bit a bronzed vintage goddess in that get-up, lets hope the sun gets to peep through the clouds soon so that you can maintain that wonderful holiday glow.
Lot's of love,
Jennie...x

ReplyDeleteWelcome home!!! You look very happy and tanned. Can't wait to read about your adventures. xx
ReplyDeleteWelcome back darling! Lovely to see you looking so well. Have missed you loads. Look forward to hearing about your adventures when you've recovered x
ReplyDeleteWelcome home. I hope that you two aren't too jet lagged. You have a lovely tan. Looking forward to hearing all about your wonderful adventures in spiceland :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome home!
ReplyDeleteNice tan! Welcome back, unfortunately to some stereotypically British weather but what can you do?!?
ReplyDeleteHello Vix, I found your blog while you were way and took advantage of your vacation to back read (maybe with a teeny bit of skimming lol). I have been having a difficult time the past few weeks and reading your blog has been really uplifting, I feel like you are the anti-me, we have a lot in common but are nothing alike (my birthday is in December making me a Sagi, my initials are VB, my husband was a guitarist in a band (turned designer), I love vintage, I have black hair, green eyes, and am a bit of an old(not that old 42), hippie). Children and marriage have taken me on a different path from yours so it has been lovely getting to know a bit about you. I LOVE your home (decor) and I am so jealous of your flamingo wallpaper I even surprised myself haha. Glad you had a fabulous trip. Kind wishes.

ReplyDeleteYAY! My fave blogger's back!!! Looks like you had a fab time in Goa!
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous as always and I love that relaxed outfit!

How very delightful to see you're back!! You look so relaxed, gorgeous and full up of sunshine. You've missed a month of the foulest weather so your timing in heading off was perfect. Looking forward to hearing more about you trip as the jet lag gradually fades.
ReplyDeleteIt has been horribly quiet around here without you, Vixen!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're home safe and what a healthy colour you are! You have missed our monsoons, to be sure!
Hoping to hear all about your travels soon, so I may live vicariously through you ;)
Take care, namaste,
Fhi x
Welcome back Vix! Glad you have a fab time... hope it's not too tragic being back in grey and cold after exotic heat ;-)

ReplyDeleteI'm over the moon happy that you're back! I thought of you Tuesday night when I spoke at a ladies' banquet. The decorations were peacocks - feathers, birds, and gorgeous turquoise stones, etc.
