Under the Bridge

A beautiful evening for a stroll across London Bridge and to The Bridge Theatre where a friend had invited me to see Barney Norris' new play, 'NightFall'. Lula had warned me of.... unfavourable.... reviews, so I made sure not to read any before watching the production. By the interval Lula and I had experienced both borderline hysterics and a small sob... we were loving it! The newly built theatre is beautiful too.

Early Morning Jewels

Roman road jewels

Stacked

An early morning call time and so a very rushed squish of rings on my hands last week - so random but very enjoyable all the same 

Enjoying a day off from the grind of a daily commute...

Working from home today and very happily so

Mona

Many eyes on me as I work from home this afternoon - the best pair looking out from my Mona Lisa socks, a gift from a friend last year.

Spring?

Counting down the days to the bank holiday weekend, when I am heading to Cornwall for a few days over Easter. Crossing fingers for sun!

Details from El Greco to Goya

At The Wallace Collection currently: two rooms packed with Spanish paintings on loan from the Bowes Musuem, in Barnard Castle. I love the colours and details in this selection.

The show is free of charge and on display until 7th January - well worth a visit!

Coca cola

Taken from Nontsikelelo Veleko's 2006 series of portraits depicting South African street style, 'Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder'.  I love everything about this outfit: the clash of colour, the accessorising. My favourite kind of personal style - fresh and surprising, effortless.

Carrying on the Coca Cola theme... my favourite T-shirt, maybe EVER and inherited (borrowed) from my fave person, my bro
