My gorgeous friend Natalie recently signed off an email with: Live with no excuses. Love with no regrets. A lovely sentiment don't you think? Something to strive for.

She's currently playing polo in Argentina with her very handsome and debonair boyfriend and will in fact be moonlighting as a writer on this very site. Such is her way with words, that I have been begging her to pen a novel for years (though she is clearly too busy riding horses) and hope to entice her into the heady world of writing by getting her to contribute to this blog.

Hopefully she wont mind that I've posted this pic of her and the boy. Yesterday they decided to get really dressed up (since they are the only one's staying at the estancia at the moment, they have complete run of the property and the staff!) and get one of the gauchos to bring up a Criolla horse so that they could do a "photo shoot" together. Ummm... so fun. A friend snapped some photos and voila. Of course it helps when your subject is this beautiful though don't you think?

Hopefully she will post the rest of the pics for you to see soon....
