Looking Across – Grand Cayman – [01/02/2014]

The Soul Of History – Florence, Italy – [10/02/2013]

Soft Focus – Civitavecchia, Italy – [09/04/2013]
We get up at twelve and start to work at one. Take an hour for lunch and then at two we’re done. Jolly good fun! I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: there is nothing not to adore … Continue reading
