From Russia with Love

Get this, I was checking my blog viewing stats and I have readers in Russia, Germany and Malaysia!!  How cool is that?  Maybe I have a russian spy reading my blog in their down town between infiltrating the KGB at a black tie in Red Square.  I like that mental picture.  A trained killer in a plush hotel room, giggling over the ramblings of a 33 year old English girl about rubbing her cellulite away.   Now either someone in Luton some how has set their computer settings to Russia or I actually have readers that aren't in my friends list on FB! Not to mention Malaysia, coooooo-el!  I have backpacked in Malaysian Borneo with my beautiful home girl Bella Boo before and love it there.  So the thought of having someone reading my blog all the way over in South East Asia is awesome!

Sorry gushing a little.

Speaking of foreign lands and Bella Boo, I am getting really excited about Annabel's wedding next week in Italy.  Not only do I love Bella (of course!) but I lurve Italy too.  It's such a great place.  Not only are the people hilarious and lovely but the food is amaseballs, the architecture is beautiful, the countryside calming and peaceful and wine drunk straight from the vineyard from where it was grown is the best.  I have spent many a good drunken time in Italy.  Roma, Toscana, Firense, Venicia.....molto bella.  Amore Amore!! (That's the extent of my poor and incorrect Italian.  Apart from asking for a glass of red wine....that I've got down pat!)  This wedding will be so cool.  In Asti in Piedmont, I reckon a bit of Spumante might be in order!  Got a cool 1940's dress and some leg lengthening nude suede shoes to go with my vintage clutch bag and vintage fur cape.  Hopefully it will be too hot to wear the cape but who knows with this friggin weather at the moment!!  I'm so over the rain and cold.  It's May, it should be springlike and warm and fresh, not cloudy, grey and pissing down with rain.  It's at times like this when emigrating to Australia is a real appealing option.  I can put a few shrimps on the barbie in exchange for hot sun, relaxed outdoorsy living and saying G'Day you flamin Gallah to Alf Stewart. 

Someone please tell me that this weather is going to get better?!  In the mean time I will enjoy the Italian warmth and hospitality and do a dance for the sun god Apollo to come back with me to the UK.

Piccies of Italy to follow!
