Back from our planned trip to Malta via an unexpected side trip to Sicily courtesy of ever changing #Ukquarantine rules!

This is the beautiful and very hospitable @casamigliaca where we enjoyed delicious alfresco “family dining” .... amidst the wonderful olive and lemon groves. This is a just the most relaxing place to have dinner, meet new friends and enjoy Sicilian favourites.

It’s Mental Health Awareness week 2020 and I’m choosing books to add to my library from these well-being titles chosen by @riba books to promote positive mental health around buildings, cities and interior spaces.
I’m looking forward to incorporating new healthy happy ideas into forthcoming projects.

One of my favourite small rooms to design as it’s easy to have some fun..... I loved both of these so we used the sign on the front of the door (now much easier for guests to find) and the hook on the back.... looking forward to getting some proper pics taken when the time is right but some quick snaps to follow for now.
