No Room at the Inn

After a flurry of phone calls from the boys over the weekend (all rather too well co-ordinated Mr. Suspicious MOTH reckons!), I've had to hang the No Vacancy sign up over The Hedge for the Christmas week. It now appears that we'll have the pleasure of entertaining Sons #2 & #3 & their girlfriends from Melbourne over Christmas. With only one renovated Guest Room & of more concern, only the teeny-tiny grotty En-Suite Bathroom (no don't even ask!!) for all 6 of us, things are going to get very cosy! MOTH said with 3 sets of GHD hair straighteners on the go in there all running off the one dodgey power point, he'll be stationed permanently outside at the fuse box!

Along with Sons #4 & #5 making the trek up the Freeway with their girlfriends & puppie Tazzie, it will be almost a full complement of offspring for the big day. Son #1 promised his girlfriend to do Christmas with her family in country Victoria this year, so he'll be missed around the table. It's been many years since we've lucked in with this many of them all in one Festive hit. This year I'm working right up to Christmas Eve, & as usual, MOTH will be pulling into the driveway around midnight every day that week. And as it's taking me 4 times longer than normal to do anything, including negotiating the challenging & somewhat precarious slope of Stirling's main shopping street, I think my patience will be sorely tested this year. While I'll do my best, I think this Christmas will be a slightly toned-down version of previous extravaganza's thanks to a certain decision made to take the stairs instead of the elevator!

The Giubbilei Look

0 comments Posted by manok at 12:34 PM

Luciano Giubbilei is one of London's most in-demand Garden Designers. Known for his sharp minimalist style, he designs gardens as interiors for the outside. Blending the classical with the contemporary, he favours crisp order & geometry with designs that feature immaculate square lawns, rows of neatly structured hedges, clipped trees & clean shapes. You won't see flowers or colourful perennial borders in any of Luciano's gardens.

Originally from Tuscany, he moved to London on the suggestion of his English girlfriend to study at the renown Inchbald School of Garden Design. He's inspired by Italian and French Renaissance gardens & the modern formality of American landscape architect the late Dan Kiley. He calls himself an interior designer for the outdoors - an Exterior Designer. For those interested, Luciano's gardens start from 100,00 pounds. While not many of us could afford a total Luciano garden make-over, or the on-going care these high-maintenance gardens would demand, (& I for one would miss my Lilies too much), there are many inspirational ideas to be gleaned from these projects.

Wreta Gestgifveri

0 comments Posted by manok at 12:51 PM

It's been ages since I did a Weekend Retreat post, but I'm convinced the wonderful Wreta Gestgifveri Inn an hour out of Stockholm will make amends. When Owner Jim Grundstrom, one of Sweden's most accomplished interior designers, first saw the seventeenth century building it was derelict & empty. Seeing the potential he set about restoring it to a gracious boutique country hotel. Every guest room mirrors a different epoch - from 17th century baroque to Carl Larsson’s turn-of-the-century romanticism. No commentary is necessary, this is bliss! The most joyous of weekends to you my friends.
