We spent the weekend tucked away in one of their gorgeous Hideaway Huts on the Farncombe Estate and honestly, I could have happily stayed there for a week.

Our hut had its own private garden, firepit and hot tub, so naturally most evenings ended with a glass of something fizzy, watching the sun set from the bubbles with nothing but countryside around us. 🥂

We spent our days taking long walks around the estate, wandering down to the lake, reading in the sunshine and popping into nearby Broadway for a little mooch around its honey-coloured streets and pretty shops.

Food was a big part of the weekend too. We had such a lovely dinner at Hook, @thefishhotel’s restaurant, followed by slow mornings over cappuccinos and a Full Fish English breakfast. And with sheep and their little lambs grazing in the gardens beside us, even dinner came with some very cute company. 🐑

Back at our hut, we made s’mores over the firepit before climbing into the hot tub and watching the last of the light disappear over the estate.

Just a couple of days of good food, fresh country air, long walks and nowhere we needed to be.

The loveliest little weekend in the Cotswolds.

50 shades of Greek blue 🇬🇷 There’s a particular 50 shades of Greek blue 🇬🇷
 
There’s a particular kind of blue you only seem to find in Greece. The deep cobalt of the Aegean, flashes of turquoise around the shore, faded blue shutters against whitewashed walls and skies that seem to go on forever. 💙🩵

Kimolos wears those colours especially well., around almost every corner there’s another little contrast of blue and white, from the tiny churches and painted doors to the sea surrounding the island. One of those places that somehow looks exactly how you imagine a Mamma Mia Greek summer should look… only better in real life.
Hot summer nights, sunsets, good wine and conversa Hot summer nights, sunsets, good wine and conversations that last for hours. 💛
There are beautiful Greek islands… and then there’ There are beautiful Greek islands… and then there’s Symi. 🇬🇷

The moment you arrive by ferry, you’re greeted by a harbour lined with colourful neoclassical houses climbing the hillsides, turquoise water that almost doesn’t look real, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you instantly slow down.

We love it here… wandering the tiny streets, finding hidden corners, eating fresh seafood by the water and watching the boats come and go. It may be one of the smallest Greek islands, but it leaves one of the biggest impressions.

Definitely one of my favourite places in Greece. 💙
