Banus with the Bambina

I'm back from Spain after a lovely relaxing sunny couple of weeks... And tactically managed to avoid most of the torrential downpours in London *Phew*

White Pod Alpine Ski Resort

I woke up feeling like I was in an igloo this morning, and in anticipation of this weekends snowy weather forecast my mind (and Google browser) was drawn to researching snowy skiing adventures. I stumbled across this amazing resort in the Swiss Alps. The White Pod Alpine Ski Resort is located 1700 meters above sea level in the village of Les Cerniers and consists of 15 original accommodation units in the shape of igloos.

I'd like to snuggle up here...

I hope it snows again this winter!

Recent antics in a nutshell...

So to get up to date on what's been keeping me away from the blogging world...
Little trip to Spain with Bella, caught up with friends & family... recovered from Ibiza...

Stayed in a gorgeous villa (which had a grand piano... so I was able to drive everyone crazy playing about on that) ate good food, drank plenty of sangria & generally had fun in the sun with my little lady.

Few cheeky girly nights out...

Halloween... obviously always a favorite time of year for me... Brilliant fun with my little witch at Tulleys Farm...

Then we stepped up the freaky fun for a scandalous night out at Supper Club courtesy of Swankys...

Then there was Fireworks night... Fab display at Battersea Park LDN this year... (that's us playing with Sparklers) WOW!

I've been painting again... although not got pics to post of my current works in progress... Also had a couple of shoots... Spent a lot of time catching up with friends, going to the gym... Working through a long to-do list of jobs around the house & garden... and that pretty much brings me up to date! xxx

Notting Hill Carnival

I'm in recovery after yesterday's day of non stop dancing at Notting Hill Carnival. I have no idea where I got the sailors hat and I woke up this morning with a giant orange sequin wing type thing lent up against my front door haha... I'm such a collector of random stuff when I'm tipsy haha. Great day!

Ideal Homes... Forest Hideaway

How lovely is this beautiful lodge nestled in coastal woodland in Sydney Australia. I love the stark contrast between the sharpness of the architecture and the wild tree growing within the design.

Life's a Beach!

So I'm now a big fan of Tarifa! Everything I hoped it would be and more! A super chilled little authentic Spanish town full of surfer dudes and hippie chicks and beaches so good you feel like you're in the Caribbean. We stayed in a little B&B right on the beach 3 days of heaven! #chilledout & #recharged

Tanning my Booty!

I'll be at the beach...

Little Surfer Girl

I really want to learn how to surf... or at least give it a go. I'm going on a little Spanish road trip to Tarifa on Sunday I've heard surfing's pretty popular down there, so maybe I'll get a chance to try it.

Holidays... Sala Samui

I've been neglecting my blog a bit, sorry... I get a bit crazy in summer time with Holidays and just being out and about in general. I am definitely solar powered, so if the Sun is shining you'll generally find me outside. But anyway back to blogging I thought do a little homage to one of my favorite holiday destinations of all time, and specifically one of my favorite hotels Sala Samui in Koh Samui, Thailand. I stayed their for 2 weeks over new year in 2006-2007 and it was so beautiful. Our private pool and open bathroom was just LUSH. I love the Thai people, they are so calm and humble. I've never felt so peaceful and relaxed as when I was in Thailand... daily massages probably had something to do with it... take a look...
