Peacock memories

Last weekend I had the absolute pleasure to meet Thomas and William. After a quick tour of their beautiful home, we went off to explore nearby Holland Park. Clearly it wasn’t their first time, as we ventured deep into the undergrowth and then mingled with the crowds in the ornamental gardens. Mum had been threatened by a group (herd?tribe?flock?) of territorial peacocks earlier in the week, but luckily all we had to deal with was a groundskeeper who objected to William’s buggy. On the path. And later it turned out that he’d been cutting four teeth…not that it stopped him smiling whenever big brother Thomas was around.

Thanks boys, for a lovely start to my Sunday. Enjoy your holiday and I’ll see you when you’re back!

Party party

Just a quick note about a launch party I covered recently, for the ilovegorgeous brand’s AW11 partywear collection. They specialise in beautifully designed clothes for girls from 6 months to 15 years, and have a large celebrity following including Kate Moss, Claudia Schiffer, Stella Tennant and Sam Taylor-Wood, so there’s always a buzz about their new pieces

You can see my pictures of some of the notable guests here:
