Well I went to London yesterday with 3 of by dearest friends, ( we call ourselves the ladies that lunch). We started with afternoon tea at a nearby hotel to the Royal Albert Hall, which we then saw Frankie Valli and the four seasons. Oh my he was truly amazing.

I like the bright stars on the index page, but I notice a couple of things stil have the fsf logo, does that signify that there are new posts? Are those changing too!
