Simple Pleasures

Just like this Japanese snow monkey, we need to sit in hot springs and relax.  Don't you just love the look on his face?
I've been researching these monkeys so I can draw and paint them in my Children's Book Illustration course.

RELAX........

Tea for Two

Here is some of the interesting fare had by my friend Fiona and I when we went to High Tea.  The date was last Thursday at the Observatory Hotel (The Globe Bar) in Kent St.  So nice to do things like this.

              Tea
        Fragrant, plush
Chatting, drinking-in, enjoying
   "This is very civilised."

An interesting title

You normally get book about wars or mistresses, but the inner workings of a famous person is not so common.
