First, she gets Mary and Angel Gabriel...

The most covetted roles in the school Nativity play were Mary and Angel Gabriel, and much to my disappointment I was never offered either parts. I was the inn-keeper's wife's friend. Lady Helena, on the other hand, was Mary in one year and Angel Gabriel in another. Jealous, moi?

Now, Her Ladyship is 'chilling in her villa' in Mexico, staying with a diplomat's family and sipping margaritas all day. Okay, so maybe not all day then.

I'm only teasing. Mexico looks gorgeous and I am so glad Hellie is having a ball. I will be raiding her photo collections and wardrobe when she gets back, so darling, I hope you've been shopping!
