…And so it begins, 14 days, 4 states and 1500 miles of road, from coastal to desert to forest, back to desert, as we travelled through the South West of the United States of America, which I can only describe as one of the most funniest, happiest and exciting trips of my life, blue skies, […]

London Musings

December 1, 2017.Reading time 4 minutes.

Sometimes you just gotta ignore the workload, the deadlines, the endless job lists and have a day away in……London!

So when everyone else is embracing the new season and are happy with the change (like really?) and leaving Summer behind, I am still harping on about the Summer and hanging onto those last days of sunshine.

Welcome to Casta Modesta. A white haven of tranquility, tucked a stones throw away from the sleepy Fishermans village of Olhão, in The Algarve.

Lisbon- Part One.

August 21, 2017.Reading time 14 minutes.

Baixa House, Lisbon

August 18, 2017.Reading time 9 minutes.

I have so many photographs to share with you of our weekend in Lisbon, but I simply had to share our perfect apartment in Baixa House first, as this shabby chic, super comfortable warm and delightfully charming home from home, completed our time in Lisbon.
