Moment in time: Royal Albert Hall
We were lucky enough to watch Return of the King at the Royal Albert Hall. It was wonderful to see it with a full orchestra. The buildings around Kensington are beautiful and I love walking through the park to get there. The people who live in this are incredible fortunate.

Gardening: a space to lose my daily stresses
What activities do you lose yourself in? Gardening has meant a lot to me. Today I checked on my seedlings and I have sweet peas, peas, marigolds and grandiflora candy tufts growing.
