So yesterday was one of those days here in London that make life fun. A group of us spent the day at the gardens of Wakehurst Place--so beautiful and much more to share in a later post.
Then hubby and I grabbed dinner at a new Mexican restaurant here in town--more about that in a future post too.
And then we decided to take the boat home, his favorite way of commuting back and forth to work each day.
The view on the boat home is much better than what you see speeding along in the tube, hanging on for dear life with commuters squashing you in every direction.
Besides, while we waited for the boat, we shared a hot Belgium waffle, reminiscing about the years we lived there.
And hubby had bought a special surprise for us to share at home.
Ladurée macarons--the very best Paris has to offer, and now available here in London.
So we popped open the box--lemon, chocolate, raspberry.
With lemon winning out as the bedtime treat. I've got a few left to share.
Wish you could join me!

Sounds like such a lovely day! xxoo :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed a quick video chat with your hubby on Sunday afternoon. Missed seeing your sweet face on that chat but you were speaking with your mom, he said. And, yes, I would love to share those macarons with you! Miss you!
ReplyDeleteWish I could join you too-- and not just because of the cookies!
ReplyDeleteIt was such a perfect day! I love waflles, this remind me that I have not been doing them for such a long time-I used to do them at home
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and so so tasty! What a wonderful day!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome day. I love, love, love that your hubby takes the boat home. What drop of delight in what could be a daily tedium. Thanks for "sharing" your macarons as best as you could.
ReplyDeleteOh La Duree Macarons! Lucky you. We brought home 2 gifted boxes and saved them for Xmas. Then! I learned how to make them myself. Wonderful stories from London. I'm enjoying them...
ReplyDeleteHow blessed you are, it is my dream to go back to the UK just once in my life. My mother was from there(a war bride) I got to go when I was a young girl. I have family there and lots of Internet friends. Maybe some day.
ReplyDeleteYes...it looks just like a wonderful day...and yes, I'd love a macaroon, thankyou!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the Tour of London and the tour of the taste buds.
ReplyDeleteThis truly has to be one of the most perfect days, Debi! I can't think of anything to add to make it better and so look forward to your photos of Wakehurst Place. I didn't make it there on my last trip but still have it on my list. Wishing you great joy at the arrival of your little Prince! xo – g
