There was gold, mirrors, sparkling glass, Norman on the decks, my Neighbours Jackie and John to take photos of Al and me with Norman, oh yes, and drinks aplenty. I walked away before I opened my mouth (I don't think I would have said anything constructive). Thanks Norman for being so obliging. #supergroupism #normansasuperstar #theivy #theivybrighton (at The Ivy In The Lanes - Brighton)

I paused The Durrells halfway through and then noticed that where I'd stopped it was so beautiful it would make a lovely print (which I'm not going to do) so next best thing, share on Insta. It's also just such a lovely series. Hope you agree #Durrellslove #thedurrells (at Brighton)

Join me as I share a video of a springtime garden at Chateau de Bosmelet. Under a very old (I think) magnolia tree you can hear the birds chirping and see the other visitors blinking in the glorious sunshine. I was there to follow in the footsteps of writer Helen Maria Williams who visited her friends at this chateau in the summer of 1790. The chateau has fascinating links to V1 missiles in WWII and Henri IV who stayed at the chateau's Orangerie.

I can't even tell you how incredible this place was. Built as a reliquary to hold the crown of thorns worn by Jesus Christ, the ceiling is covered with golden stars. Only the King of France, his family and the canons leading the service accessed this upper chapel via an outdoor terrace. Each window represents a book from the Bible and the amount of blue light and gold ornamentation in the chapel was truly heavenly. During the French Revolution when religion was outlawed the building was turned into a corn store. For more pics check out my insta story. I love the one of the open window, which shows just how rich the colours of the painted glass are. The other one to check out is the statue at the entrance from the outdoor terrace, the white of the stone in stark contrast to the golden interior. #paris #saintechappelle #saintlouis #louisix #lecmn #iledelacit茅 #parisjetaime #igersparis #igersfrance #historicbuildings #architecture (at Ile-de-France, France)

Shakshuka on a pizza anyone? Brunch toppings on stone-baked pizzas launching tonight at the re-furb'd West Hill Tavern by Brighton station. Special launch deal today & tomorrow. Loved the interior - hanging plants in bronzed pots, dark blue walls and esp the gilt-framed Italian fisherman in the jaunty red cap. Fabulous welcome and tremendous vegan doughnuts (don't have to be vegan to appreciate them). Sophie and I pulled exactly the same expression when we got that first hit of hot freshly cooked doughnut-sugariness. #cosmicpizzaco馃崟 #westhilltavern #brighton #pizzafriday #foodiefriday #letsdothis #bottomlessbrunch (at The West Hill Tavern)

Tried a beautiful red wine last night! I'm so in love with it, Caruso & Minini Cutaja Nero d'Avola. Straight from the Sicilian vineyard to the newly opened Veeno Cafe on West Street. Serving only Italian wines, providing wine tastings, pairing unbelievably good buffalo mozzarella, speck, Gorgonzola & walnut and superb tiramisu. The wine in the pic was the rose, also superb. Veeno cafe is a newly opened wine cafe that wants to take pretentious out of wine drinking. I'd highly recommend checking them out. And please try their red. #winecafe #veenocafe #veenocafebrighton #brighton #winetime #nerodavola (at Veeno - The Italian Wine Cafe)

I'm pretty sure I've never posted this before but it's kinda what I love. Blue sky, historic building, impressive architecture. I think it's Sir Christopher Wren near St Paul's in London, but please correct me! #London #architecture (at London, United Kingdom)
