Lot's of magic related to cakes and baking which is not helping me stick to my diet. It's a blissful read. Love the pink Dutch bike. I'm in deep envy. Also, if you insist on wearing a white eyelet sundress while you ride this beautiful bike it MUST be on a quiet country lane that ends at an Anne of Green Gables house.
