Little is Enough for Those with Love

Little is Enough for Those with Love, 2019

Sad Man with Flowers, 2019

A new artist and a new gallery - to me at least - I loved the Cassi Namoda exhibition at Pippy Houldsworth Gallery last week. Intimate and colourful paintings about love, family and cultural traditions in Maputo, the artist's birthplace.

Well worth a visit: see here for details. On display until 7th March 2020.

Bucharest

A recent adventure in Bucharest, Romania - the first stop of a train holiday inspired by my mum's past travels. Bucharest is like nowhere I've been before - crumbling disrepair and new buildings alongside. The centre of the city seems to convey some wealth and stability - the old town full of history and beautiful buildings. Close by though things start to fray very quickly... We walked from the city centre to the international train station where we were catching a train up to the Transylvanian Mountains... more to come

Midnight Cowboy

I'm one of the few people in London/UK/The World it seems that still uses a DVD player - and borrows DVDs from their local library. A recent hit was Midnight Cowboy, a 1969 Oscar winning film starring Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman. While being very dark in places, the film is also very touching in the relationship forged between pretend cowboy Voight and outcast vagabond Hoffman. And of course....the clothes....

The Swans

A friend recommended a book recently - which I finally got around to reading this Christmas - Swan Song, by Kelleigh Greenberg-Jephcott. The book tells the story of Truman Capote and his Swans; the well dressed and heeled American socialites of 1950s and 60s. So unbelievably glamourous and OTT. It provoked much googling on my behalf - endless outfit inspiration!

Portugal

3 nights in Portugal at the start of October - what a wonderful shock to the system to enjoy heat and sunshine this late in the year. Even managed to squeeze in some tie dying!
