October 21st With Greetings From Venice

What a lovely surprise awaited me when we went for dinner tonight with friends, Alvin, Alicia and their wonderful little girl, Ella. A small gift for me all the way from Venice. Alvin has just returned from a business trip to Italy and Sweden (where he visited the mother ship), and saw this wee treasure in Venice, and I am one very lucky g̶i̶r̶l̶ - ok l̶a̶d̶y̶ - ok o̶l̶d̶ ̶l̶a̶d̶y̶ - let's make that 'supposedly' mature lady!!

I also have to post a photo of the wonderful but cheeky Ella, enjoying her Chocolate Mousse like no Chocolate Mousse has ever been enjoyed before
