From a warm 14 degrees to a chilly minus 5! Landed in Gatwick ok and headed up to Yorkshire. Would be nice if we lived in Buckingham Palace as pictured above (photo Andy Hooper, Daily Mail), alas, ours is a smaller place. To see such snow in London is quite a sight. Delayed posting as lots going on. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I look forward to posting more Croatian delights in 2011. Cheers!

Winning Ticket ... again.
We had a lovely evening at the Foreign Circle Christmas Party on Wednesday last week for the english speaking expat residents of Dubrovnik. The tombola offered some fabulous prizes, and my number came up! 2 nights B&B in the 5 star Hotel Excelsior. The hotel has enjoyed the presence of guests such as The Queen, Liz Taylor & Richard Burton, Hollywood stars etc. Our zero temperatures outside and flurries of snow made our stay even more enjoyable in the warm spa. I won a similar prize last year with 2 nights B&B at the Hotel Radisson .... think the Foreign Circle may ban me from entering next year.

Lotty has created new gift boxes for her silk items |
Last year I did a post on LottyB, the talented artist based on the gorgeous island of Mustique in the Caribbean. She creates exquisite designs on silk for sarongs, kaftans, dresses, blouses, scarves etc. They are sold in chic hotels and boutiques around the world. I bought a "purple puppy" charmeuse silk blouse a few years ago, shipped from the island which is beautiful. Yesterday Lotty emailed me about her revised website. I was intrigued to read under stockists: Caribbean ... USA ... UK ... and now Croatia!
