WELL NOW!!! 👀

Hammersmith Bridge is open for cyclists from today. And it didn’t disappoint!

Sound up for Dua Lipa. And if there’s ever a time for some cheeky faces surely it’s this!

I haven’t been on this bridge for years and it’s tiny! I can’t imagine cars on here. … 1/3

@anooshka_rawden I let it go, especially if you have a name with various spelling conventions. People spell my name with the ‘s’ version all the time. I wince when people assume I’m also ‘Liz’, but I know they’re not being malicious, just friendly. I think intent is really important.

#DesignDestinations | A look at the wonderful Jardin Majorelle, located in Marrakech, Morocco 🌵

Originally dating back to the 1920s, this botanical garden was created by French artist Jacques Majorelle. The garden was purchased by fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent in the 1980s to save it from being sold to hotel developers.

The garden is a living work of art, with exotic plants from around the world such as water lilies and banana trees. At the centre of the garden is a bright blue villa, designed by architect Paul Sinoir. The villa was designed in a cubist style with strong geometric shapes and was painted in 'bleu Majorelle', after the owner.
