A Girl After My Own Heart

I wanted to watch a bit of the news this morning while sipping my espresso…

…and I saw this advert…love this little cookie…

Isn’t she super!!!

This was the ten year old Caramel all over…

And at fourteen years of age I was a huge Elastica fan…another member of the Britpop era.
