ROUND THE WORLD60 EXBURY GARDEN, ENGLAND - 17 May 2025Exbury Garden is a 200-acre informal woodland garden in Hampshire, England, with large collections of rhododendrons, azaleas and camellias. Created by Lionel de Rothschild from 1919 and open to the public, his grand children and now great grand children continue to oversee its ongoing development and care. Located along the banks of the Beaulieu River it’s a garden we’re lucky enough to know well and have visited on numerous occasions.

ROUND THE WORLD56 AZULEJO, LISBON 8 May 2025The Museu Nacional do Azulejo - meaning ‘tile’, is housed in the former Madre de Deus Convent, founded in 1509. Its collection of ceramic tiles is one of the largest in the world and concentrates on Portuguese and former Portuguese Empire ceramics from the 15th century to the present day. During my visit I focused on looking at examples of 20th century work in the museum’s collection.

ROUND THE WORLD54 - POWER OUTAGE, LISBON, PORTUGAL - 4 May 2025During our first full day in Lisbon, Portugal, having just stepped off the tourist ‘Hop On Hop Off’ bus at our final stop on the red route - lots of interest to see, I took a photograph of a neon street sign ‘Optica Brasil’. It was just after midday, 12.30 to be exact and therefore no reason why this sign should have been illuminated. Next I noticed that the traffic lights weren’t working.

ROUND THE WORLD50 - THE FACE, LONDON - 24 April 2025During our hectic short stay in London I visited the National Portrait Gallery (NPG) to see the exhibition ‘The Face Magazine: Culture Shift.’ Don’t miss it. It’s fabulous. ‘Heaven’, the club we started, opened its doors in December 1979. ‘The Face’ magazine was launched by Nick Logan in May 1980.
