I planned my own birthday treat – a trip to an exotic destination I have never visited: Penzance! Also known, to enthusiastic and somewhat misguided locals, as the Riviera of England.
The gift was to include three nights lodging in a former geological museum; how thrilling!
Except it was my birthday so we have had the inevitable storm. I am stranded in London by the “weather” ! No ambitious adventures for me….
Instead I went to went to Harrods and bought a Brooks Brothers bag.
I also bought a proper suitcase and (hushed whisper)…. it wasn’t even on sale!
What?!?
Then a contingent of the nearest and dearest took me out to dinner, where I set my head on fire. Mmm… kimchi & singed hair!
