Perfume is the key to our memories

There is a magic in distance. Look back at the golden lamp-lit rooms of your home from the road of your life, and it all for a moment is exactly how you hoped it would be: warm, peaceful, safe.

Love and loss come in equal measure.

There are few things emptier than the space where a Christmas tree used to be.

That__ what great art does__hat__ why these men and women counted. It shows us what makes life worth living.

What I__e learnt is: buy the damn shoes. Kiss the boy. You can lose a life in indecision, and regret is a waste of an emotion.

The end is never the end. It's always the the beginning of something.

Your home is within you, you carry your place in the world.

Brillat-Savarin, said: __ell me what you eat and I__l tell you who you are._ He had it wrong. It__ not just what we eat that shows who we are, it__ what we buy but don__ eat that says more about the people we think we are. Or want to be. Look at the ingredients in your cupboards. All those hopes and dreams.
