Karma Salford Hall

October 14, 2021 Our Man On The Ground 0

Venturing out and about still has that feeling of frisson to it after all those months locked up during lockdown. A trip into the country is a welcome treat. As we drove through Warwickshire up […]

Athens

Asomaton, Athens

Stables Inn, Paso Robles

August 13, 2021 Our Man On The Ground 40

NYX Hotel London Holborn By Leonardo Hotels

Olea Hotel, Sonoma

April 8, 2021 Our Man On The Ground 37

The air changed. Like that shift between Cambria and Carmel, it saturated my lungs with something fundamental and forgotten, evocative and cleansing. Less cement, more cypress. I anticipated none of it, though maybe I should […]
