COWLEY MANOR

We have just returned to London after two very relaxing nights at Cowley Manor just outside of Cheltenham.

It was such a delicious treat! Lots of gorgeous food, reading, swimming, massage and relaxing.

Here are some snaps from one of my walks around the gardens.

FABULOUS FIGARO

FABULOUS FIGARO!

My sister and I just love these cars and we swap our Figaro spots with our i-phones!!!

I spotted this one yesterday evening on Sloane Street South Kensington.

COUNTRY WALKING

After many failed attempts to leave London, I finally escaped for my long yearned for ramble in the open space and clean air of the English countryside.

Amersham to Chalfont St Giles and back again was the adventure in hand for my best mate Anna and I.

The last time we did a walk like this together was about 7 years ago in Italy, and in tradition, our 4 hour route was almost doubled by constant chat, a pit-stop in a field with an amazing view to snack on manchego and chorizo and a boozie chatty delicious Sunday roast at the Fox and Hounds on Silver Hill. Oh, yes... and the torrential down pour.

It was fabulous fun and I hope to get more walking in this summer come rain or shine!

Any takers for the next hike in the hills?

NEW LONDON REVIEW

This month I have been published in the very first issue of the 'The New London Review' .

My friend and tallented food writer, Helena Lee and I set off to Brixton Market to meet the lovely Rosie Lovell, founder of Rosies Deli.

I had heaps of fun snapping away in her Brixton Market shop and later taking her portrait in her near by South London home.

You can read the article here 'Tea and cake with Rosie'

Below is a mood board of shots from the shoot.

Keep an eye out for more collaborations between Helena and I !!!
