I have a denim jacket that is perfect for this time of year. Its longer length and creamy buttons down the front make it feel like a shirt, but it has diagonal pockets in the front firmly placing it in the ‘chore coat’ category. I cruised up to my sister Sally’s house on my bicycle recently wearing this denim jacket. She clapped her hands together and said, “Welcome, Jessica!”
You now have me thinking what desserts I would pair with certain friends of mine!
In addition, I love your gran. She sounds just like my mum. Perhaps it was a generational thing that they would present front and centre, perfectly groomed. And Mum's pavlovas and coffee sponges were seriously things of great (and tasty) beauty.
If I have any disappointment it is that I didn't get to see your denim jacket.
I've just been looking at Talbots and trying to convert US to Australian dollars to see how much it would cost to have one mailed here. Then I could pretend to be Jessica Fletcher in my little seaside village...
What a beautiful piece - a loving tribute to both your grandmother and Jessica Fletcher. And a perfect comforting thing to read at the start of my day.
What a beautiful piece, tiramisu and all.
