  • A Weekend in London

    A wonderful concert at Highclere Castle gave me the perfect excuse for a relaxed (and lazy) weekend in London. A bus brought us from London Victoria directly to Highclere and we were awaited by lots of food & drink trucks, the Highclere Gin Truck was probably the favourite.

    While the sun set slowly over the Castle the “Music of Downton Abbey” was played and performed.

    Back in London, I started the next day with breakfast at Fiona’s and wandering around the neighbourhood, South Kensington.

    My tiny “studio” in the house with the pink door and the stunning staircase!

    I was also lucky to finally score one of the sought after tickets for the Dior exhibition at the V&A museum. It was really interesting to see the drawings, models and dresses but there were just too many people to really enjoy it!
