14/05/016, Rain,rain, rain.

Yesterday late afternoon the heavens opened and I was expecting the roof to come down on the top of me.Never have I seen or heard anything of this gargantuan proportion to fall from above.Not even in London,and that is saying something! I thanked the lucky stars I was indoors already.I never mind getting caught in the rain, Many a time I have put on my Ciccone wellingtons [yes,made for Madonna's brother, I was given one of the samples as a gift and wonderfully comfortable they are,too) and a raincoat and walked the streets of London,so to speak,leaving my face exposed. I love to feel the rain-drops on my skin. It has been quite wet here during my stay, often I have had to take a taxi rather than walk as I much prefer doing. Like this morning. I took a ride to a shopping center called CENTRO, where one can find the loveliest boutiques for all ages and sizes,including adorable children's rucksacks.But all I wanted to do is to look and admire,even though I picked up an organic pear body lotion, cucumber micellar water,several lavender pouches to keep the moth away and a Si perfume 3 piece set, heavily reduced,by half at least, the last box remaining since Christmas, I bought it for the body lotion,my absolutely favourite lotion ever, it smells divine and I have never yet been able to buy it free-standing,so to speak, only as a part of a set,which I do not mind doing as I love giving the perfume and shower lotion away as presents My sister adores the smell, as did I until I started using Hermes' Un Jardin sur Le Toit. This has no equal. I absolutely adore Hermes as a brand. But no, I do not have their bags.
