A Slight Distraction


Darling Willow, I wanted so much to attend the Third Annual Willow Manor Ball, but just couldn't make it on the night. I've had one very big week at work & well, one thing led to another. Everything went like a dream at my client dinner on Wednesday night, thanks to all the words of support & encouragement from my gorgeous bloggie friends.

As you can see I was all ready to leave for The Manor.......I'd slipped into my beautiful dress, pinned my hair up & my scrumptiously handsome partner had arrived to accompany me. And then it struck, a shattering blinding headache that left me pinned to the sofa. It was light outs for me my dear, but I'm sure not for you. Your evening looked the best & I'm devastated to have missed it. xx Millie

  2. Gosh, Millie...after that huge effort on Wednesday who could blame you? I started having heart palpitations just reading about it. You are an inspiration. When's the book of "What Millie did next" coming out? Get writing! Don't hide your light under a bushell:) Meredy xo.

  4. Oh, I am so sorry. We did have Yuri Zhivago on hand to tend any aches or pains you might have had. (One look into his eyes would cure any of my ailments!) You do look divine, I must say! Feel better soon, my friend!
