One of the highlights of our Mexico trip was the beautiful colours of Cholula & Puebla. Located to the south-west of Mexico City, these very different towns had at least one gorgeous thing in common – their streets were rainbow-hued!

Couldn’t get over this incredible view from the top of the mountain in Zahara de la Sierra, Spain
I started June in Spain and ended it in Poland – my kind of month! I’m still dreaming of the gorgeous architecture and sun-soaked landscapes from my family road-trip round Andalucia… it was a very special holiday shared with them. Back in London I tried some delicious food, squeezed in a bit of culture and soaked up the sunshine in the park whenever possible – got to make the most of summer while it’s here!
48 Hours in Mexico City
From temples to markets to fine dining, we packed a lot into 48 hours in Mexico City. Touching down to news of the shockwave from the US election, we wondered if we’d notice the locals on edge. But we were quickly swept into exploring the whirlwind of busy streets and soon had limited headspace for pondering geopolitics as we marvelled at ancient ruins and filled our bellies with delicious food.

More excellent door and flower coordination in Islington
May – wow you sped by! Another month filled with broken-arm healing, VERY busy times at work… but with a wonderful 10-day holiday in Southern Spain at the end with my family to finish it off in style. The hideous attacks in Manchester and London may have put a temporary dampener on the spirit of the country but I was proud to witness how London (and I’m sure Manchester) feels like a place of resilience and determination, not of fear and hate.
