"Back together again ... back together again"

Miss Stella after her haircut

Isn't she lovely?

I love LA, the weather, the vibe, the shopping, Santa Monica, the Getty Museum, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Amici's Italian restaurant in Brentwood. Cost Plus they sell Heinz Baked Beans and real English tea. Then there's Trader Joes, their Orange Champagne Vinegar, drizzled over salad is quite delicious, no other dressing needed. I do wonder though why the US and Canadian dairy industry cannot make decent cheese and why the cheese they do produce has to cost a weeks wages, a slight exaggeration but I'm making a point here. So I'm back, back with my lovely Stella who remembered me from last October, I was here for two weeks before flying to Spain in fact she always remembers me no doubt until Mum walks back through the door then it's goodbye Aunty A and that's exactly how it should be.

Oh and I read they have snow in Alberta supposedly the earliest recorded fall ... ever! Looking out on the LA sunshine will do fine by me thank you:))

Here for another 10 days when my dear friends and home owners return from Spain Stella and I are having fun as always she's as much of a Princess now as she's always been. "When walking Stella SHE will lead you ... not the right way (for her) we stop, turn around and proceed in the right direction ... her direction"

Come the 21 October I'm off to Las Vegas for three days on business (my business:))  unfortunately my other dear friends wont be there so I'll just have to kick back on my own. Then it's back to BC on 23rd for a month before heading south again to San Diego and Alfie ... yes New York Alfie he's moved from the frozen North West to sunny California and we get to look after him again ... yeah!!
