Hello you! We are officially 5 months into the year… Your New Year’s resolution was to work less and enjoy life more. Have you given up on that idea? Hopefully you don’t want to lose the opportunity to have a summer of a lifetime. I’ll be travelling a fair amount anyway, so wanted to share some dates/locations of my summer plans, perhaps you fancy meeting me at one of the following dates/locations:

• Mid-Late June, Mallorca
• June 28-29, Paris
• Mid July, Portugal
• Mid October, Scotland
• Mid October, Ireland

And of course, any other ideas are very welcome. And just a polite reminder: At this rate (and I say this as an optimist) we’ll all be dead by Christmas anyway so please, clear a few days in your diary and let’s plan a secret adventure. Your fears will not materialise, and everything will go perfectly if you’re brave enough to reach out and squeeze the boob of life.

See you there!

B ✈️❤️

Some ideas:

Mallorca

As I’m going there anyway, and it’s one of my favourite places, it could be a good place to meet. There are some gorgeous hotels there.

Porto or Portugal

Again, I am already scheduled to visit Portugal, so why not join for some fun in the sun. I loved Lisbon on previous visits, and Porto is supposed to be great for food. Comporta is a lesser known but soon-to-become-big place with beautiful beaches. There’s also a lot of golf in Portugal, if you’re into that.

Paris

I’m very obsessed with both La Reserve and George V hotels in Paris – I haven’t stayed at either of these hotels but would love to 😇 The city of romance and salty butter – yes please!

The Sha

The SHA in Albir (Spain) is a health/detox hotel where we can follow a programme of healthy eating, working out, and treatments. This experience isn’t for everyone but is a good place to begin if you’ve been feeling in a rut and would like a kick start some healthy changes. There are many such resorts in other places/countries, they can be quite coring solo, but more bearable with company – we could try one. 

Tickets for the French Open are now on sale. Don’t know a damn thing about tennis but I know I can clap politely and wear a short white dress

The Greek Islands

A real favourite of mine as I’ve been visiting Greece for many years and love the islands. The smaller islands would suit you if you’re happy to do not too much, stroll along the beach and enjoy simple Greek food, the bigger islands would suit you if you like to do something activities, historical sites and more varied dining. Late spring or September are good times to make this happen

Ascot

I already have the dress ready to go. 

Rome (✅ already taken)

It’s been sooooo long for me. Such a special and romantic place. Let’s slurp pasta and check into a luxurious hotel. I used to LOVE Hotel de Russie but really don’t like the guy that owns it (saw him on the news a few times and thought I would really not like to give that man any more of OUR money). Any other hotel is fine 😚😂

Atlas Mountains (✅ already taken)

Sounds crazy but it’s about time we went to Marrakech then spent some time in the Atlas Mountains.

Montenegro

I am hearing and seeing good things. Isn’t Europe becoming more and more difficult each summer? Everything fully booked and very busy. Of course I have had a look at the Aman, the Chedi, and The One and Only in Montenegro. All look fabulous!
