home at last

Hi everyone, back home at last! The first day was spent sitting in shock in blazing sunlight, like one of those moments in a fred and ginger film when they flick the lights on the set and everyone starts dancing! The second day Julian went to work and I went for a walk with the cats and on the third I had to go to Paris! My third nasty cough of the season has ensured julian and I didn’t get too close until I came back and yesterday I think I finally landed! Collecting logs, cleaning the grate, waxing the French farmhouse table, and making a hearty soup of roast pumpkin, ginger, cinnamon and sweet potato while J was out painting did the trick, and just to make me feel at home he improvised a mad apple soufflee at midnight and ate it all himself! Right now he is making a chocolate cake in preparation for friends comin for our first dinner party tomorrow. They own a very famous restaurant in Rhode Island so, although I promised a simple meal, Julian is getting very excited and creative! The festive season is indeed upon us!
Unfortunately I am working a lot (next week in Cannes, thereafter in paris – better than Bradford I suppose!) We will just be the two of us, which is the nicest thing we can imagine right now after three months apart!
happy holidays everyone, lots of love ruthxx
