The High Line

The High Line...one of my favourite places to go in NYC.

On our first visit, it was still closed post-Hurricane but the next day we were in business.

Chelsea Pierce

Yo-tel

The Yotel was something else. Our room was akin to a (space) ship cabin; a robot stores the luggage; and Q-Tip dj-ed at the bar.

Southside

Farga

Icecream Spanish style.

Where I'd like to be today

Mar Bella Beach, Barcelona.

Barceloneta

Colour inspiration for a rainy day.

Kronborg Castle

Otherwise known as Hamlet's home.

Signs

New job and birthday required a proper celebration. In Denmark.

Anish Kapoor @ Kensington Palace Gardens

Skyline

The changing skyline at London Bridge: Borough
Cathedral dwarfed by the Shard.

Misato

Misato is an amazing little Japanese restaurant in Chinatown, serving big plates of chicken katsu and a selection of bento boxes. This one, including 8 pieces of salmon sashimi, 2 rolls, 2 warm pork dumplings, fried chicken, seaweed salad and rice was only £8.50. Throw in some warm sake to share and you can eat your fill (or more than) for a tenner. It's usually packed and staff are run off their feet, but it's worth joining the queue for one of the best lunches in central London.

Fading

The darkening colours and papery textures of fading flowers are a thing of beauty.

Amethyst into gold

Transforming some old fabric into something new for spring.

Dawn

I haven't felt very inspired to update the blog recently but this morning I feel very positive about the week ahead.
