#2. I most definitely did NOT choose the right Avon Lady. I STILL don't have my stuff yet! She was supposed to deliver it on Saturday, but I called her and asked if she could come Sunday and she said that would be fine. We set up a time and the time came and went on Sunday with no call and no appearance. I called on Monday after the time she said she'd be there just in case I got confused and she still hasn't called me back. I'll try her one more time, but it's ridiculous that I should have to work so hard to earn her commission for her.
#3. Alice and I went on this amazing stroll from St. Ives to Houghton today. It was so incredibly beautiful, I can't even put it into words. I stupidly left my phone so I couldn't take pictures, but I hope to go back while it's still lovely and warm and capture it. There was ivy everywhere. Everyone was out. Moms with babies in strollers, dads with dogs on leashes, runners, cyclists, teenagers all hanging out next to a tree in the meadow. We saw swans, ducks, horses, cows, sheep, squirrels, bunnies, (heard) crickets, and even saw a toad which slimed all over Alice's foot! There were chestnut trees, acorns, blackberries, crabapples, elderflowers, and someone was even selling cherries from their trees. The path we walked was wooded but it overlooked a lovely stream and then huge meadows beyond that. We walked into Houghton and had ice creams at a local pub (I got pistachio, Alice got caramel and chocolate) and browsed the area around the mill and some of the most adorable, quaint cottages I've ever seen. I can't even handle the cuteness that permeates everything: doorframes you'd bonk your head on if you were 5'10", thatched roofs, tiny little flower gardens, mossy rocks, shutters with hearts carved out, tiny markets actually titled "Ye Olde Village Shoppe," et cetera, et cetera.
This place is even better than I could have imagined. <3
LOVE the dress, babe. Can't wait to see photos. So jealous of your life's adventures!!! <3
