Camargue

I just came back from Provence. It made me feel like a lousy blogger as I have seen beautiful things every day. I could have taken pictures and blogged all the time. But instead, I took the lazy approach and just enjoyed with my eyes.

One day, by pure chance, we entered what I would almost call paradise: La Chassagnette. A restaurant where everything was perfect: the garden, the food, the presentation, the whole setting.

I've been away a few days to see my sister in UK. Design is on the edge on this island but who would have thought that, in Haywards Health (a small town in West Sussex) I will stumble upon one of the coolest designed bars.  One wall is covered with pictures from magazines; fixtures, fittings, furniture in a sophisticated mix of industrial, vintage and contemporary styles; even the ceiling has stunning black tiles. I wish I had my camera as taking pictures with my Iphone in the dark does not give all the credit. But keep an eye on their own site as pictures will be published soon (idlewildbarandkitchen.co.uk).
