Time Out

Let’s go to Paris for a long weekend…we must dine at Sur Mesure and Camelia…yes, both..created by Jouin Manku Studio.  Never mind the cuisine, I am taken with the milky white interiors…one a bit like rumpled sheets; the other smooth and sleek.  I wonder if we will choose a favorite when all is said and done…

…I think I will choose Camelia…

…or maybe I will select Sur Mesure…

..or perhaps…yes, both…

Golden Eye

Golden Eye, St. Mary, Jamaica, is the novel locale where Ian Fleming, the man behind the most famous three-digit double agent, resided while writing 17 James Bond novels.  Did you ever wonder which beach Ursula Andress graced while filming Dr. No?  Well, this is it…

Accomodations are made up of four private villas…a Jamaican paradise…

…exotic Balinese furniture with large living spaces…

…everything one would expect from a five-star resort…

…outrageous…

It is Friday and I’m ever so anxious for summer to arrive.  I am dreaming of lounging at the oasis, Geraardsbergen, by ‘t Huis van Oordeghem.  Come and join me…and, please, have an apple…
