LOVE

What makes you feel sad? Seeing beautiful old buildings knocked down for mediocre new ones.

Reflection for your younger self? Enjoy the process. Most things work out, and the things that don't usually lead somewhere more interesting.

Tell us life’s greatest pleasure to you? A sunny long lunch with people I adore in my garden.

LIFE

Do you believe in a higher power? I believe there's more going on than we'll ever fully understand.

Are you worried about anything? The state of my lettuce plants.

What have you recently learned? How to care for chickens and how to make authentic Caesar dressing.

OTHER

What gives you joy? Flowers, fabric, and finding the perfect chair.

Drink of choice? A very cold martini.

Anyone you’d like to thank? My clients for believing and trusting.
