Appley Hoare

Now London based, Appley Hoare Antiques (previously in Woollahra, Sydney) specialises in French antique furniture. These images are from her recently renovated French farmhouse (I'm not sure, but think the house is in the Camargue).

Leonard Cohen

"It was a rare concert, one that you could hear every note being plucked and sung, every beat, every chord struck. But it was transcendent because Cohen proved to be that singular artist who can make a hall of more than 10,000 people feel like a lounge room gathering of old friends" - Daily Telegraph

Safari Style

Cottar's Lifestyle Safari Camp is in the eastern Masai Mari of Kenya. The camp is made up of four spacious tents, all with high ceilings and timbered floors. Polished four-poster beds are made with crisp white cotton sheets, afternoon is served under the covered porch and brass lamps light the tent at night - sounds like heaven!

Farm Gate

This is the farm's front gate and our many, many agapanthus - they look amazing at this time of year as both sides of the road are a mass of blue (except for a few renegade whites).

I've Loved You So Long

This is a must see movie - Kirsten Scott Thomas is brilliant!
