an afternoon with Alexandra

it's just so nice when you do make time 'in between busy times' to meet likeminded creative souls. and that's what we did this afternoon! lovely Alexandra and i arranged to meet at the london graphic centre and then went to a nice catch up session over coffee and hot chocolates at my fave cake shop in the west end. she had a sneak preview of my still unfinished 'horse and the seed' book whilst i enjoyed her book with some of my absolute favorite of her pieces. can't wait to get my copy now. apparently that'll happen on our next date :)
just great! also got a beautiful present, an enamel original tile by Mrs Hedberg. ohhh am over the moon with it! still haven't decided whether to hang it on the wall or have it on my desk so i can look at it all the time :) the weather was ok, not too cold and we had a lovely and relaxing time. thank you Alexandra for my present and for making my day a much nicer one!
ps: doodles and mick jagger painting by my hero Noel Fielding (aka Vince Noir from the Mighty Boosh) still wondering why i love that french cake shop so much?! oh my! :)
