I have enjoyed every moment of this beautiful day spent working on projects that fill my heart and soul with gladness.  There is another reason I feel so happy – I have a wonderful new man in my life besides my darling husband.   I am referring to Mr Rares, who has been taken on to spare me of dealing with all things technical, which he does without fussing or flapping and which I thought was a prerequisite of all such tasks.  And then there is Emma, my adorable assistant, who is a creative illustrator, passionate about all things interiors related and remarkably good with excel spreadsheets – is it possible to have all that in one person?  Finally there is Ali; a friend and  truly gifted photographer and I mention her as I was looking through these sublime images she shot recently for a project we are working on.
