KultureFlash

Writing for culture ezine, KultureFlash. Profiles on the Campana Brothers and Robbrecht En Daem Architects. So fun to write for a magazine that I rely on. I start my day with KF twittering.

29

29 today.

A recipe from Orna and Ella with D. Tom Stoppard's The Real Thing tomorrow. Petersham Nurseries on Sunday with my favourite conversationalist. And gratefully received present of egg spoons, seaside and elegant teacup prints, and a "learn how to palm read" session!

(whoopie pies at RIBA London today)

Sugar

Sugar rush after the delectable pop-up Tete-a-Tea yesterday. To the tune of Ella Fitzgerald, we sampled homemade scones, jams and fancies in the Victorian setting of the romantically dilapidated Wilton's Music Hall. An American guest on my left was in London waiting for the skies to reopen. An accidental tea party. The very definition of serendipity.

Thamescape

Soundscape artist Bill Fontana has created a new sound installation for Somerset House.

"Somerset House was built with its own front door onto the river, The Great Arch, from which the Navy Board's ornate gilded barge would sail upriver to Whitehall. Artist Bill Fontana returns the river to the building with River Sounding, an impressive sound installation that creates an acoustic journey through the little known subterranean spaces of Somerset House".

Bobbin

Bobbin's Bicycles on Rosebery Avenue.
Red and Blue bikes for the petite, medium, tall-ish or leggy.

Primrose

First Spring walk home last night. I had a decided need to photograph. Grainy iPhone shots without a Leica lens.
Grainy shot no. 2 is of a fishmonger in Primrose Hill. After I clicked, the monger ran after me to say that the boat of ice is typically filled with fresh fish. Photographers get to start funny conversations.

Tel Aviv
