Rio still wants to be a rock star


"If you want to have a man" is topping the UK charts....ahem, yes, we are in the process of securing a voice instructor to help our budding rock star hone her singing skills. The sincerity & creativity are definitely there!

Pret-a-Portrait Preview


School portrait photography at its best. Rio managed not to stick out her tongue or cross her eyes, as she usually does during those sessions.

Sunday ale lunch at Spaniards Inn




After a long walk through the muddy Heath, Kai somehow always manages to steer us towards the Spaniards Inn. Rio then gets overly excited, as during our first visit they had a children's day and she ended up getting her face painted & winning toys. She now considers it Her Pub. Ila likes it too. There's usually enough dogs for her to chase around.

Some history on this very old pub here: Spaniards Inn

Early morning in Hampstead


This main artery path that leads one through the Heath starts right next to our building. It's insane to think that one can have this right outside your window and be at Picaddily Circus in about 20 minutes by tube.

We pass this cemetary on the way to school and say hello to "Maud Tree, His Wife" statue every day.

Our main street in the Hampstead village.
