Secret Gardens

There is something almost magical about a
garden in the middle of a busy street,
Tucked away in a corner, up a turret or in
the grounds of a museum or gallery.

I love the garden designed by white hot
Brazilian designers the Campana Brothers
in the V and A museum in London. Such a zen like
escape from the rush of the city outside its walls.
Or how about the jungle like explosion of
foliage bursting out of this little steeple like
structure in Hanoi, Vietnam.

We all need a little sanctuary in the city or
to feel the balance of order and chaos that
gardens are often about.

Street food




Need a food break on the street but don't want a greasy
burger or an over-sweetened frappaccino. There is always
something on offer and you are supporting a small
business , rather than a mega corporation that might
just be homogenising your favourite street's local flavour.
You know the ones I am talking about.

Who wants to eat the same stuff in every
city all over the world?
Unless it is spaghetti.
Get adventurous.
Discover new cuisine.
Add something spicy to your day.
