Eurovision Nostalgia

I watched the Eurovision Song Contest with my husband and my Mamma while in Oslo last weekend. And what struck me was the lack of magic, it's become an interminable circus with an inordinate number of svelte women in revealing clothes singing boring songs. And the turgid Norwegian commentator, urgh, did nothing to lift the atmosphere at all. Graham Norton all is forgiven!
I loved ESC as a small child and I still remember the Israeli song which won in 1979 (very aging, I know), it was called 'Hallelujah'.  Looking at this video I realise that I only heard it on the radio - perhaps not a bad thing.



My all-time favourite is C'est Le Dernier Qui A Parlé Qui A Raison sung by Amina Annabi in 1991. Love love love.

Green in Spring



Gucci's spring-summer collection this year is absolutely heavenly... gorgeous colours and lines. Perhaps I've fallen for it because there are so many items that would go with my jewellery - like this,  my favourite pair of pendant earrings for the summer...


These are faceted heart briolettes of Chalcedony suspended from 14K Gold-fill hammered hoops, connected to 14K Gold-fill earwires via faceted rondelles of slightly darker Chalcedony. Available to order.
