What’s New Getting ready for lunch (in Normandy), with @kotomicreations @peter.gabrielse and @norikoalchemy I was using the butlers tray in the foreground to clear cups in the shop, but one day the bottom fell out of it as it was being carried down to the kitchen. The cascade of broken china on the stairs meant we had to shut the shop for 30 minutes while we cleared it up. Now repaired and taken to the safety of Normandy! #lunch #friends #normandy #butlerstray #antiquesareforusing #accidentshappen #settingthetable #summerlunch #mixandmatch66832537_157274988751740_92005931058702960_nNot what I was expecting to see at Kings Cross and just as I got out the phone for a photo the hawk took off right in front of me #perfecttiming #unexpected #kingscrosshawk #kingscross #hawk #train #notapigeoninsight #surprise #lovelondon #cityhawk #station64507161_216265822633084_7994602518460028977_nLove the colour of this jug, never seen a blue glaze like that before and sold as soon as it went out #jugsofinstagram #colour #blue #sold #pottery #ceramics #antiques #spitalfields #neverseenbefore66118978_903104463366145_3649782277799343643_nBeautiful moon last night after a first visit to Garsington opera #summernight #moon #moonlight #nightsky #opera #turnofthescrew #benjaminbritten #garsingtonopera65454399_128725218363783_5630395997110391746_nThe shade from the weeping ash in the courtyard here very welcome yesterday #normandy #heatwave #shade #climbingrose #shadows #ashtree #caenstone #courtyard #toohot65316540_462285374333756_5961284708166192422_nPop of colour from the petunias in the courtyard next to my green man #courtyardgarden #spitalfields #greenman #wallgarden #petunias #brickwall #colourpop64575152_164742051243794_3533637312174139893_nSitting on the back step of the shop in a calm moment before the storm of gardens day tomorrow! #nationalgardenscheme #gardensopenday #sitalfields #onthebackstep #thecalmbeforethestorm #norainplease #spitalfieldsgardens61186250_2313401842323868_4955139791566404106_nIt was dark when we arrived in Normandy after a long journey, but although I couldn't see them, the scent from these self-seeded sweet peas by the door was enough... #arrivals #sweetpeas #summer #scentedflowers #summerflowers #mademehappy #selfseeded #normandy #summeriscoming #hazel #wigwam #cutfromthegarden61376486_452331625529303_8812219805817707044_nGetting ready for a friend's birthday party dinner #birthdayparty #layingthetable #diningroom .#spitalfields #panelling #georgian #interior #stayinspitalfieldd61162756_324081268221683_2997988187464547529_nI know #wisteriahysteria is over, but ours always seems to be the last - here it comes on this beautiful sunny day! #whitewisteria #lastwisteria #alwaysthelast #sunshine #summeriscoming #blossom #inmygarden #sunnyday60262003_342154256443500_3067750455435809336_nThanks to everyone who visited the @beeurbanlondon hive yesterday - loved having them here #chelseafringe #bees #beekeeping #urbanbeekeeping #observationhive #honey #spitalfields #busybee #pollinators #beeurbanlondon60208128_400021427512929_4397480914339149507_n
