Chapter 58 Heidi

• Heidi
• The hour or so that I’m with Elizabeth and the others is the most enjoyable I’ve spent in a long time. We test a whole raft of New Zealand wines, Elizabeth asking for details as she can’t drink, and I sample so many chocolates that they’ll need to reinforce the plane when I get back on it.
• We spend most of the hour drinking, talking about boys and babies, even my mother, Elizabeth’s mother, and my grandmother, who all giggle as though they’re fifteen. Joanna’s gone to bed in the villa next door, so the conversation inevitably turns risqué as time goes by and we get more tipsy.
