A friend of a friend described it as the "dark luxury"
Here are some luxuries so dark and rich and beautiful and bitter that I need to share them.
It may be self-indulgent, but thats partly the point.

Oh Lettuce - Such poignant photos. I hope this Christmas hasn't been too overwhelming for you all. I'll always remember the first one after my Dad died (only 6 weeks before).
