  What part of liv­ing bliss­fully in New York and own­ing an art gallery didn’t work for me? Well, the part that was trans­ferred to Lon­don with my husband’s job… Five years later, here we are, deliri­ously con­tent to live in the sec­ond great­est city in the world (first? sec­ond?), cook­ing, eat­ing, watch­ing our remark­able daugh­ter bring her­self up in style, and describ­ing it all here, for posterity.
