    So, I’ll say, let’s have coffee

    So, I’ll say, let’s have coffee and we’ll go to a small café on a side-street in Italy or Spain or Portugal or France, somewhere far enough south that even in December we’ll sit at an outside table in our coats and catch a little sunshine.  I’ll order an espresso and I’ll be wearing a beautifully tailored… Read more
