The Beginning

View of Big Ben and Parliament from the London Eye (Dec 2010)

First, a few words on the name of my blog.  This is a phrase used in the UK to describe a woman of leisure - one who does not work and, apparently, frequently lunches.


I am happily living in the suburbs of London with my dear husband and two children.  In August, I left my job as the lead financial officer of a small, public biotech company in Philadelphia to make this family move to the UK.  I am using this time off to discover Europe, as well as do some soul searching and hopefully determine what I want to do with the rest of my life.  


I hardly ever go out to lunch, but I do love to explore and try new things.  I hope you follow me on this journey.

    When they make the movie of your blog (a la Julie and Julia), please make sure that I am referenced as the first subscriber. I can even play myself if need be!!!! Looking forward to living vicariously through your European adventures!!

    Hi Linda,
    So glad to hear you are having fun exploring Europe. Isn't being a lady of leisure the BEST ? I recently gave up this status and went back to work. But my current gig is a part time 2 day job so I'm a part time lady of leisure.
    Do send latest pictures of the kids, Jill

    Hi LInda, from one of a 'lady what misses you fiercely!' I have to admit I am envious of new adventures in one of my favorite places!!! I look forward to (virtually) following you about! -- Sharon Presnell

    First, on the Pisa pictures, Noah's is by far the best! Next, I have been enjoying following your blog and am so jealous of all the places you have traveled in such a short time! Maybe Matt and I can parlay a 10 year anniversary trip (2012) to include a stop in London! we shall see...

    I am so jealous. Looks like you are having an awesome time. If you are looking for an island adventure we went to Mauritius this summer (off the coast of Madagscar), and it was phenomenal. Keep up the posts. Takes the edge off the winter and the fact that some of us are working:)
