I'm surrounded by many pregnant women and women with small babies. They are everywhere it seems these days. I was interested to see that my choice not to be is shared by Elizabeth Gilbert in her new book Committed. A thoroughly excellent read by the way. I wasn't expecting it to be with a title like that, but just goes to show that titles and covers can sometimes be misleading. She is one switched on, smart cookie.

    A fine looking collage. Now, get away wif ya. Gilbert's next book will surely be "knocked up" if the pattern is to be continued.

    Just lovely. I really love clean beautiful compositions and funnily I'm totally unable to achieve something like this as I can't help myself and always tend to go over the top with things. You've got me intrigued with the book.
