Spirited away to an isle of warmth and sensuality, welcomed by playful alchemists conjuring exquisite food and drink, surrounded by company lively and sweet, and beauty of every kind -- smooth stones and delicate machinery, handmade tables, guitars, mandolins, words of wisdom tucked into coral printed linen, twigs with their buds swelling just a little in the candlelight, in clay vessels satisfying in the hand.
It would have seemed an enchantment, but this morning there was a little box printed with a gold sun, two perfect chocolates nestled inside, an elegant proof that we were....... wherever we were.
