Thank you for giving me your perspective on the book. I did notice that your daughter had the same name!<br /><br />Yes, she is definitely an outsider.

The gnocchi I had there was the best ever, although I can no longer remember the details (it was quite a long time ago now)!<br /><br />So sorry for not commenting on your blog much recently. I've been really busy over the last few weels and have had limited time for visiting. Hopefully I shall start catching up after Christmas. Thank you for all your comments, they are always much appreciated.Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-80298972302066343232011-12-10T04:46:18.601+11:002011-12-10T04:46:18.601+11:00This looks great!
