Friday:
Another early start … checked out of 1 Aldwych - sad - it is my favourite contemporary hotel in London.
0700 – Arrive at Four Seasons, Park Lane for a lesson in floristry with James Pitman – the hilarious and witty on-site florist. Learnt how to do some floristry stuff that involved flowers and grass!
0900 – Arrive on Pimlico Road.
1000 – Dale Rogers Ammonite – basically fossils! It’s actually not only very interesting but its one of those places where you want to buy everything.
1200 – Lunch at the Daylesford Organic. A piece of Gloucestershire heaven has arrived in London. Great food and atmosphere and somewhere for the pup to sit!
That's Better!
1300 – David Linley – VERY VERY chic and wonderful furniture – meet up with Craig Allen – the creative director. You can buy a table for £20,000 or a door stop for £19.99 – I wonder which one I went for!
1400 – Plus One gallery – meet the lovely Maggie with pup, Jack. Her gallery focuses on “photo-realism” – basically a painting that looks like a photograph!
1600 – Head back to FS to pick up cars.
Mention of the day: Kate – Tom x 4 – who was very helpful!
Tom x 4 +Tim
Saturday:
0730 – Pup and I head off in car to Dorking (Surrey) to Denbies – the “home” of British Wine.
0930 – Arrive at vineyard and meet with Chris White – the General Manger; taste some fabulous stuff. Did you know that champagne was “invented” in the UK? Did you know that some soils in Kent & Surrey are BETTER than the stuff in Champagne … and so produce better wines?? Did you know that the Denbies sparkling stuff beat the likes of Moet & Chandon to be THE best in the world? Well, now you do …
Chris and Pup
A GREAT DAY!
1600 – bar-b-q
Sunday:
Day of rest, family and more bar-b-q.
Song of the Day: Boom! And there she was – Scritti Politti
