Tosca ready! At the Royal Opera House for tonight’s performance. @RoyalOperaHouse

The Taj Lake Palace truly is a magical, mesmerising place. Very honoured to have stayed there in 2018, enjoying a week of excellent customer service in the unsurpassable setting of Udaipur. Many congratulations on your anniversary.

Fantastic evening out in London Bridge and Borough Market last night, starting with cocktails @elliotslondon. The high point was a visit to Kolae Southern Thai bar and grill, for a late night supper. Food was totally mind blowing! kolae.com

Exquisite selection of gourmet delights @WildHoneySJ, part of the @SofitelLondonSJ expertly crafted by @AnthonyDemetre. Quality of the food matched by the warmth and charm of their talented young staff. 2024 Michelin star is well deserved; great London restaurant @MichelinGuideUK

Delicious pre-theatre feast at the @BernersTavern. Fine food and a dedicated team of talented staff; followed by a passionate performance of Puccini’s La Boheme at the Royal Opera House. Thanks to all who made last night a night to remember. God bless to you all! @RoyalOperaHouse

It’s Aperol Spritz o’clock! Happy Christmas all! 🎄 @AperolSpritzUK

Yesterday was the perfect start to Christmas, starting with a visit to @theritzlondon and then on to The Goring for more cocktails by their fabulous open fire. Hard to beat London for festive atmosphere - feels like it’s going to be a very merry Christmas.

It’s here - Christmas has arrived! With thanks to @dobbies (Wallington) for our magnificent beast of a tree; super great staff who were exceptionally patient and helpful in the hour it took to choose, which is why we having been using them for the past twenty one happy years.

Finally managed to buy a bottle of Italicus, Rosolio di Bergamotto in England, having been introduced to this amazing Italian aperitivo in Budapest, of all places! Thanks for the introduction to Ayaz, the charming cocktail mixologist of Le Bar @corinthiabud and to @italicusrdb

Late night after dinner drinks at the ever accommodating St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel, London. Some of the friendliest hospitality staff in #London, in the whimsical Gothic surroundings of @StPancrasRen

Wonderful to be at the opening night of Raffles London at the OWO (Old War Office). Inventive cocktails and delightfully attentive staff, in a stylishly re-imagined historic property. @raffleshotels #London #Cocktails #JamesBond

Glad to see the extensive graffiti on the former Glamorgan pub on Cherry Orchard Rd has been painted out. As the second photo shows, it was reported last week (5th) and resolved today (11th). Thanks to @yourcroydon & @JasonForCroydon for helping to return some pride in Croydon.

The birds are always welcome garden guests; but today my soul sang with joy for the #bees whilst watering the garden after a difficult day at work. Never seen so many of them busily collecting their precious nectar.

Opera ready! Rigoletto at the Hungarian State Opera House, #Budapest

The Liget Budapest Visitor Center by architect Marcel Ferencz (NAPUR Architect) is, in my opinion, a masterpiece in modern civic design.

Vajdahunyad Castle earlier today, then a walk through the park to Liget Budapest Visitor Center. #Budapest

Stroll by the #Danube in #Budapest. The #Hungarian parliament building looks resplendent in the early evening sunlight.
